Therapy-Resistant Erosions in the Genital Area of Elderly Patients: A Differential Diagnostic Challenge - A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dermatology. 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
Introduction: Genital erosions occur in many dermatological conditions and can sometimes be difficult to classify, especially in older patients with multiple morbidities. Case Presentation: We report the case of an 81-year-old patient with therapy-resistant genital erythema. Under topical antifungal therapy for a suspected diagnosis of Candida intrigue, the scrotal findings continued to progress, accompanied by genital erosions and new erosions on the nose and right knee. With evidence of IgG and C3 deposition on the basement membrane on direct immunofluorescence and subepidermal cleft formation on histology, a diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid with predominant genital involvement was made. Conclusion: In conclusion, this case study illustrates that skin biopsies should be taken in cases of therapy-resistant erythema with erosions in order to clarify the dignity and ultimately to be able to adapt the treatment. In addition, it is important to examine the entire integument, including the mucous membranes close to the skin, to avoid overlooking groundbreaking findings. Bullous pemphigoid is the most common blistering autoimmune skin disease and occurs mainly in older people. However, the classic picture of bulging blisters is not always present. Bullous pemphigoid may masquerade clinically as pruritic eczema, erythroderma, or erosions. Predominant genital involvement has only been described in a few case reports.
