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

Episodic angioedema with eosinophilia is characterized by recurrent angioedema, peripheral eosinophilia, fever, weight gain, elevated serum immunoglobulin M (IgM), and a benign course lacking any internal organ involvement. A non-episodic variant has also been reported which is limited to a single attack and normally is less severe than the episodic type. We report a case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection with dermatological manifestation that was followed by non-episodic angioedema with eosinophilia including fever, weight gain, and elevated serum IgM. Even though the patient's clinical characteristics resemble episodic angioedema with eosinophilia as reported by Gleich, angioedema was non-episodic. This may be due to systemic corticosteroid treatment which was prescribed because of persistent skin manifestation following M. pneumoniae infection. The current report is the first observation suggesting that angioedema associated with eosinophilia may be triggered by atypical bacterial infection.
