A Rare Case of Bullous Pemphigoid Triggered by Overlapping Immune Dysregulation From HIV and Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disorder, typically affecting elderly patients. Most cases are idiopathic, but BP has been reported to occur as a paraneoplastic phenomenon or in association with immune system abnormalities. We present a unique case of biopsy-confirmed BP in a 43-year-old man with advanced HIV infection (CD4 count: 4 cells/µL) and untreated classic Hodgkin lymphoma. The patient developed progressive tense bullae and desquamating skin lesions involving approximately 15% total body surface area, requiring debridement and subsequent transfer to a burn center for wound care. Laboratory studies demonstrated severe immunosuppression with a CD4 count of 4 cells/µL and pancytopenia. Histopathologic examination revealed subepidermal blistering with an eosinophil-rich infiltrate, and direct immunofluorescence showed linear deposition of IgG and C3 along the dermoepidermal junction. Serologic testing confirmed the presence of BP180 and BP230 autoantibodies. Management was complicated by the patient's immunosuppression, limiting the use of systemic corticosteroids and delaying wound healing. This case highlights an uncommon clinical intersection of BP, advanced HIV, and Hodgkin lymphoma.
