Clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of linear IgA bullous dermatosis.
Synthesis in Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft = Journal of the German Society of Dermatology : JDDG, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Linear immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis (LABD), also referred to as chronic bullous disease of childhood (CBDC), is characterized by the linear deposition of IgA antibodies within the dermal-epidermal junction. While dapsone is typically recommended, alternative modalities may be considered based on accessibility, severity, and prior response to therapy. This review aims to provide an updated overview of the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes for LABD/CBDC. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE and Embase in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines. Results from 650 articles, encompassing 1,627 cases, revealed 52% of cases were male. Vesicles (49%) and bullae (47%) were the predominant morphologies occurring across multiple body locations simultaneously, such as the legs (52%), abdomen (49%), and back (49%). Vancomycin was the most reported causative medication; however, most cases were not drug-induced. Dapsone was the primary therapy for LABD/CBDC while biologics were reported with higher complete response rates. Other immunomodulators, such as IVIG and mycophenolate mofetil, were reported to have comparative responses in CBDC cases, but lower response rates in LABD cases. Colchicine and amoxicillin-clavulanate had lower response rates overall. The variety of treatment options underscores management challenges due to the variable clinical presentations and underlying causes.
