Stress, itch and quality of life in chronic urticaria females.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionChronic urticaria (CU) belongs to a group of psychodermatological disorders, thus stress can play a significant role in this dermatosis onset and/or exacerbation. On the other hand, the disease itself accompanied by itch, may be a source of distress and could worsen patients' quality of life (QoL).
aimThe first goal of our study was to compare stress intensity between CU subjects and the control group. The second aim was to investigate the relationships between disease-related parameters (CU severity, itch) and psychological variables (stress and QoL) in CU patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsForty-six female patients with CU participated in our study. Thirty-three healthy females constituted a control group. The following methods were applied: Urticaria Activity Score (UAS), Itch Severity Evaluation Questionnaire, Visual analogue scale (VAS), Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) and the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL).
resultsChronic urticaria patients demonstrated a significantly higher stress level in comparison to the control group (
