1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Key Clinical Message: The use of phototherapy is highly effective in treating various skin diseases. In this study, the aim is to present vesicular and blister lesions in patients treated with UVB for psoriasis. It is advisable to consider the possibility of BSLE in cases of vesiculobullous lesions following phototherapy, along with other potential diagnoses. Abstract: Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) is a rare form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus that presents as vesicles and blisters on various parts of the body. The pathological appearance of these lesions often shows subepidermal vesicles with deposits of IgG, IgM, IgA, and complement C3 in granular or linear forms under direct immunofluorescence (DIF) examination. Clinical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of phototherapy in treating various skin conditions. While several studies suggest a correlation between phototherapy and the development of vesiculobullous lesions, most of these reports are related to bullous pemphigoid, with limited research on the occurrence of BSLE following phototherapy. In this case report, vesicular and blistering lesions in a 70-year-old man undergoing UVB treatment for psoriasis are described. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of bullous systemic lupus erythematosus, and the patient experienced significant improvement after treatment with dapsone tablets. A literature review was conducted on the development of vesiculobullous lesions after phototherapy, comparing different approaches presented in previous studies. Our conclusion highlights the importance of considering BSLE as a possible diagnosis in cases of vesiculobullous lesions post-phototherapy, alongside other potential conditions.
