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

Background: Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) represents a severe inflammatory subtype of psoriasis. Bullous pemphigoid (BP), the most common autoimmune subepidermal blistering disorder in clinical practice, predominantly affects elderly populations. Comorbidity of these two diseases is uncommon, and BP secondary to EP in young-adult patients is particularly rare. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male with a 14-year relapsing-remitting history of psoriasis was admitted for erythrodermic psoriasis flare. Tense soybean-sized bullae with clear fluid appeared on bilateral lower extremities on the 5th hospital day. Skin biopsy demonstrated subepidermal blister formation with psoriasiform epidermal alterations. Direct immunofluorescence revealed basement-membrane-zone (BMZ) IgG (±) and C3 (+). Serum serology revealed markedly elevated levels of both anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 antibodies, whereas anti-desmoglein-1 and anti-desmoglein-3 antibodies were negative, supporting the diagnosis of coexisting EP and BP. The patient was treated with oral acitretin combined with high-potency topical halometasone cream, no new bullae occurred subsequently. Both psoriatic erythrodermic lesions and bullous lesions achieved marked improvement over the 6-month follow-up period. Conclusion: This rare case of BP secondary to EP in a young adult underscores that clinicians should maintain high suspicion for BP when tense bullae develop de novo in patients with EP. Timely performance of histopathology, perilesional direct immunofluorescence, and pemphigoid-targeted serological testing is critical for establishing a definitive diagnosis.
