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

purposeImmunoglobulin (Ig) E autoantibodies against thyroid antigens such as thyroid peroxidase (TPO) have been demonstrated in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients in higher frequency than healthy subjects. However, if these IgE autoantibodies can trigger urticaria is still a matter of study. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between concomitant IgE autoantibodies against thyroid antigens in CSU.

methodsPatients with CSU, healthy subjects and patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) were recruited. Total IgE and specific anti-TPO IgE and IgG were assessed in all subjects. The basophil activation test and skin tests with TPO were performed to demonstrate whether this antigen could selectively induce urticaria reaction in subjects with positive anti-TPO IgE.

resultsAnti-TPO IgE was present in all 3 groups (CSU: 34.0%, ATD: 16.6%, healthy subjects: 8.1%). Anti-TPO IgE levels were higher in CSU patients, whereas anti-TPO IgG were higher in ATD patients. After exposure to TPO, CD203c expression from patients with CSU and anti-TPO IgE significantly increased in comparison to the other groups; 33.0% vs. 14.0% in ATD patients and 9.0% in control subjects (

conclusionsAnti-TPO IgE is not a specific biomarker for CSU. However, IgE against TPO plays a pathogenic role in inducing effector cell activation and skin exacerbation in some patients with CSU.
