Resolution of Bullous Pemphigoid Following Lung Cancer Resection: A Case of Paraneoplastic Pemphigoid.
Article in Cureus, 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
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by subepidermal blister formation, primarily affecting elderly individuals. While BP has been associated with malignancies, the exact nature of this relationship remains unclear. We report the case of a 72-year-old man who presented with pruritic cutaneous lesions, including tense vesicles and bullae and was diagnosed with BP. Despite treatment with doxycycline, nicotinamide, and topical clobetasol, his symptoms persisted. A routine chest X-ray, conducted as part of his diagnostic workup, incidentally, revealed a large mass in the right upper lung, which was subsequently diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. Remarkably, after the surgical resection of the tumor, the patient's BP lesions completely resolved within seven weeks, without alterations to his dermatologic treatment. This case emphasizes the importance of malignancy screening in patients with persistent BP and suggests a possible link between BP and underlying cancer, particularly when standard therapies prove ineffective. Further investigation into the mechanisms connecting these conditions is warranted.
