Sleep Disturbance in Patients with Urticaria and Atopic Dermatitis: An Underestimated Burden.
Article in Acta dermato-venereologica, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
This study examined the relationship between insomnia and the frequent itching skin diseases, atopic dermatitis and chronic urticaria. Patients with chronic inflammatory dermatological diseases with pruritus were evaluated for insomnia (Insomnia Severity Index; ISI) and impairment in dermatological quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index; DLQI). Disease activity was measured using validated scores. A total of 61 patients participated in the study. Patients with atopic dermatitis had a mean ISI score of 8.7 before flares and 16 when a flare occurred. The mean DLQI score in atopic dermatitis was 11.4. The mean ISI score in patients with chronic urticaria was 6.8 before flares and 14.9 when a flare occurred. In patients with chronic urticaria the mean DLQI score was 8.5. An increase in insomnia during a disease flare was demonstrated in both groups. Thus, sleep is a factor to consider during treatment of itching skin diseases. The results of this pilot study indicate that pruritus may not be the only reason for insomnia in patients with atopic dermatitis or chronic urticaria.
