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

backgroundOmalizumab is a humanized monoclonal anti-immunoglobulin E antibody, approved for the treatment of spontaneous chronic urticaria, with high efficacy and an excellent safety profile. Although its adverse effects are rare, allergic reactions and cardiovascular events were previously described. CASE SUMMARY: The authors describe the case of a 75-year-old woman, followed at the outpatient dermatology clinic due to spontaneous chronic urticaria, treated with omalizumab 300 mg every 4 weeks. After the 11th administration of omalizumab, the patient developed an episode of thoracalgia associated with electro- and echocardiographic abnormalities. Coronary angiogram excluded coronary artery disease, and left ventriculography demonstrated mid-apical akinesia and basal hyperkinesia, consistent with the Takotsubo syndrome (TS). DISCUSSION: Takotsubo syndrome was already reported in association with other monoclonal antibodies. However, to our knowledge, this is the first case of TS following the administration of omalizumab.
