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

Heat shock proteins (Hsp) play a complex role in cytoprotection, inflammation, and function of the immune system. They may be involved in pathogenesis of various diseases. Our aim was to determine circulating Hsp70 and anti-Hsp70 antibodies concentrations in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Concentrations of Hsp70 in plasma and anti-Hsp70 antibodies in serum as well as serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in CSU patients and in the controls. Plasma Hsp70 concentrations were significantly higher in CSU (all) and mild CSU patients as compared with the controls. Moderate-severe CSU patients tended to show higher Hsp70 concentration as compared with the controls, but not with mild activity of the disease. There were no significant differences in Hsp70 concentration between moderate-severe and mild CSU patients. Serum anti-Hsp70 antibodies concentrations were significantly higher in CSU (all) and mild CSU in comparison to the controls. Association was observed between anti-Hsp70 antibodies and increased CRP concentration; however, no correlation between anti-Hsp70 and Hsp70 concentrations was seen in the patients. It seems that up-regulation of Hsp70 in CSU may induce marked increase in anti-Hsp70 antibodies production, which are accompanied by parallel changes in CRP concentration. We suggest that Hsp may be released in CSU in response to stressful stimuli, such as inflammation.
