Brunsting-Perry Pemphigoid Confined to the Scalp: A Clinicopathologic Mimicker of Discoid Lupus and Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA).
Article in Cureus, 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
Brunsting-Perry pemphigoid (BPP) is a rare variant of cicatricial pemphigoid that is difficult to diagnose due to its overlapping clinical and histopathologic features with other causes of scarring alopecia. Due to the rarity of this condition, to date, less than 100 cases have been documented in the literature. We present a 76-year-old female with a four-month history of painful, scaly lesions on the scalp, whose differential diagnosis originally included discoid lupus erythematosus and central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia due to their ability to mimic BPP. The diagnostic overlap in this case highlights how autoimmune blistering diseases like BPP can mimic both inflammatory dermatoses and primary cicatricial alopecias, reinforcing the need for careful clinicopathologic correlation to avoid misdiagnosis and to better guide treatment.
