Current Knowledge on Nail Involvement in Autoimmune Bullous Disorders.
Review in Skin appendage disorders, 2024. 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
Background: There are few studies, mainly case reports, on the involvement of the nail unit in autoimmune bullous disorders. Summary: Nail involvement in autoimmune bullous disorders is a significant clinical phenomenon, marked by a range of manifestations, most often not presenting with blisters like on the skin but rather with alterations of the nail unit such as paronychia, onychomadesis, or onycholysis. This involvement is particularly notable due to the unique immunological features of the nail unit, including the expression of various antigens and the presence of Langerhans cells. Conditions like pemphigus vulgaris, bullous pemphigoid, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, linear IgA disease, and bullous systemic lupus erythematosus can lead to nail abnormalities. The prevalence of nail manifestations varies according to the disorder, and diagnosis often relies on histopathological and immunofluorescence testing. Nail involvement correlates with disease severity and duration, sometimes serving as a herald sign. Further research is needed to guide therapeutic approaches for nail involvement in autoimmune bullous diseases. Key Messages: Nail involvement in autoimmune bullous nail disorders may be confusing as there are almost never bullae. One should keep the diagnosis in mind when facing an atypical paronychia.
