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

Chronic urticaria (CU) is a skin disorder characterized by the recurrent eruption of short-lived wheals accompanied by redness and itching for at least 6 weeks. The wheals can be associated with angioedema. CU is considered an autoimmune disease in about 50% of cases with the presence of circulating histamine releasing autoantibodies mainly directed against the high affinity IgE receptor FcepsilonRI on mast cells and basophils or against IgE. In several CU cases regarded as idiopathic; the actual pathophysiological mechanisms are still unknown. Some patients with CU do not respond to antihistamines and require the use of systemic steroids or cyclosporin, which are, however, not always effective. In CU, several investigators have demonstrated the activation of coagulation that is due to the involvement of eosinophils and a tissue factor pathway with generation of thrombin potentially contributing to an increased vascular permeability. CU patients often present with elevation of coagulation and fibrinolysis markers, such as prothrombin fragment F1+2 and D: -dimer, which correlate with the disease severity. Preliminary data indicate that anticoagulant treatment with heparin and warfarin may be effective in reducing the symptoms of this disorder. Taken together, all these findings provide the rationale for proposing clinical trials on the use of anticoagulant drugs as adjuvant treatment in CU patients.
