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

backgroundThe Urticaria Activity Score summed over 7 days (UAS7) assesses the itch severity and hive count in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) using once- or twice-daily diary-based documentation.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the comparability of twice-daily versus once-daily versions of the UAS and the resulting UAS7 values.

methodsData came from the ASSURE-CSU study. The twice-daily and once-daily UAS7 was calculated from morning and evening ratings, as well as from exact 24-h evening ratings of hive count and itch severity, respectively. Three UAS7 scores were computed: UAS7 twice daily (UAS7

resultsData from 614 patients were analyzed. All three versions of the UAS7 yielded very similar results, with a mean (standard deviation) UAS7

conclusionsThe once- and twice-daily UAS7 scores were highly consistent, supporting the use of either version when evaluating CSU activity.
