A Comprehensive Review on the Intricate Interplay between COVID-19 Immunization and the New Onset of Pemphigus Foliaceus.
Review in Vaccines, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) are characterized by the formation of vesicles, bullous lesions, and mucosal erosions. The autoantibodies target the cellular anchoring structures from the surface of epidermal keratinocyte named desmosomes, leading to a loss of cellular cohesion named acantholysis. AIBDs are classified into intraepidermal or subepidermal types based on clinical features, histological characteristics, and immunofluorescence patterns. Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an acquired, rare, autoimmune skin condition associated with autoantibodies that specifically target desmoglein-1, leading to a clinical presentation characterized by delicate cutaneous blisters, typically sparing the mucous membranes. Several factors, including genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, malignancies, medication use, and vaccination (for influenza, hepatitis B, rabies, tetanus, and more recently, severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2 known as SARS-CoV-2), can potentially trigger the onset of pemphigus. With the advent of vaccines playing a pivotal role in combatting the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19), extensive research has been conducted globally to ascertain their efficacy and potential cutaneous adverse effects. While reports of AIBDs post-COVID-19 vaccination exist in the medical literature, instances of PF following vaccination have been less commonly reported worldwide. The disease's pathophysiology is likely attributed to the resemblance between the ribonucleic acid (RNA) antigen present in these vaccines and cellular nuclear matter. The protein produced by the BNT-162b2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine includes immunogenic epitopes that could potentially trigger autoimmune phenomena in predisposed individuals through several mechanisms, including molecular mimicry, the activation of pattern recognition receptors, the polyclonal stimulation of B cells, type I interferon production, and autoinflammation. In this review, we present a comprehensive examination of the existing literature regarding the relationship between COVID-19 and PF, delving into their intricate interactions. This exploration improves the understanding of both pemphigus and mRNA vaccine mechanisms, highlighting the importance of close monitoring for PF post-immunization.
