Tadalafil-Induced Generalized Bullous Fixed Drug Eruption: A Rare Side Effect of a Common Drug.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor, an FDA-approved treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), benign prostate hyperplasia, etc. It is also widely used by otherwise healthy individuals for recreational purposes. Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a distinctive type of adverse drug reaction in which every exposure to the offending medication leads to the appearance of lesions at the same 'fixed' sites. A sharply defined erythematous patch or plaque with a violaceous hue is typically seen. A clinical variant featuring classic FDE lesions along with blistering in at least three out of six anatomical sites or involving at least 10% of body surface area is known as generalized bullous fixed drug eruption (GBFDE). Tadalafil-induced FDE is in itself an uncommon phenomenon, with only a handful of documented cases, none of which seem to have reported GBFDE-type presentation post-tadalafil intake. Here, we present a case of GBFDE following tadalafil administration.
