Prevalence of co-existing autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases in vitiligo: a survey-based study from Egypt.
Article in BMC rheumatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe exact cause of vitiligo is still unknown. Genetic factors, self-destruction of melanocytes, the autoimmune process, and oxidative stress all can contribute to the pathogenesis of vitiligo.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to figure out the frequency of coexisting autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases (AIIDs) in Egyptian patients with vitiligo and identify the associated risk factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsEgyptian children and adults with vitiligo and their parents were asked to answer a web-based survey. The survey consisted of multiple questions centered around demographic, clinical, and therapeutic data. The vitiligo disease activity (VIDA) score was evaluated for all the patients. Patients were also asked about the presence of co-existing AIIDs.
resultsThere was a total of 294 participants, mostly females (54.8%), with a median age of 35 years and a median disease duration of 9 years. Nearly 27% had at least one AIID. The most common associated AIIDs were autoimmune thyroid disease (47 patients, 16%), followed by alopecia areata (14 patients,4.8%), then psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis (11 patients, 3.7%). Univariate regression analysis revealed that age (OR 1.02, P = 0.036), female gender (OR 2.2, P = 0.004), disease duration (OR 1.04, P < 0.001), affected body surface area (OR 1.7, P = 0.048), and family history of AIIDs (OR 2.7, P < 0.001) were predictors for the presence of AIIDs in patients with vitiligo.
conclusionAIIDs are prevalent among vitiligo patients. Age, female gender, and family history of AIIDs are the main predictors of the presence of AIIDs in vitiligo patients.
