1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have signifi-cantly improved oncologiconcological outcomes. However, ICIs can elicit immune-mediated adverse effects that may require treatment discontinuation and potentially affect cancer prognosis. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) can be induced by ICIs in up to 1 % of treated patients. Conventional treatments for BP (topical and systemic glucocorticoids as well as other classical immunosuppressants) associate substantial toxicities and may impair antitumour responses. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks IL-4/IL-13 signalling, represents a promising alternative, offering effective disease control with an improved safety profile. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of dupilumab for the treatment of ICI-induced BP (ICI-BP) in a real-world multicentre case series of 19 patients, an underreported clinical setting. The median time to ICI-BP development from ICI initiation was 390 days (IQR 295). Overall, 18 patients (94.74%) achieved a clinical response, of whom 16 (84.21%) attained complete remission. Disease stabilization was observed in one1 patient. Among 17 patients receiving systemic corticosteroids prior to dupilumab, 14 (82.35%) discontinued them afterwards. Additionally, 11 patients (61.11 %; n=18) were able to continue or reintroduce ICI after dupilumab initiation. Dupilumab was well tolerated, with 18 patients (94.74%) experiencing no significant adverse events and only one case of suspected psoriasiform toxicity.
