Allergic Contact Dermatitis to 1,3-Diphenylguanidine Over a 23-Year Period: Recent Cases Involve Sterile Polyisoprene Gloves.
Article in Contact dermatitis, 2026. 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
background1,3-Diphenylguanidine (DPG) is a known contact sensitiser and rubber vulcaniser.
methodsA retrospective audit was performed including 2675 patients tested to 1% DPG in petrolatum between 2002 and 2024. The MOAHLFA index of those with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) was compared to the remainder of the patch test clinic population. Temporal changes in the prevalence of contact allergy and ACD to DPG were assessed.
results50 (1.9%) patients had positive reactions to DPG on patch testing, with 31 (62% of positive reactions) diagnosed with ACD. In those with ACD, there was a significantly higher proportion of men (64.5% vs. 30.6%, p < 0.001), more occupational cases (41.9% vs. 17.7%, p < 0.001), more cases with hand dermatitis (64.5% vs. 33.1%, p < 0.001), more cases aged over 40 years (71.0% vs. 53.2%, p = 0.048), and fewer cases with face dermatitis (9.7% vs. 25.5%, p = 0.043). The most common exposure sources were gloves and shoes, with the four most recent cases involving polyisoprene (PI) gloves. However, information regarding DPG in shoes was lacking, and some patients reacted to multiple haptens, making it unclear as to the primary culprit.
conclusionDPG causes occupational ACD in especially in healthcare workers (HCW), with recent cases involving exposure to PI gloves.
