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

introductionLow grade inflammation is associated with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and atherosclerosis. There are little data on the relationship between urticarial inflammation and atherosclerosis. The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) have recently been studied in many diseases as a biomarker of inflammation.

aimTo evaluate hematologic inflammatory parameters and subclinical atherosclerosis in CSU patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsC-reactive protein (CRP), NLR, PLR, MPV and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) in CSU patients were compared with healthy controls. Thirty CSU patients and 30 healthy controls participated in the study.

resultsThirty CSU patients and 30 healthy controls participated in the study. 53.3% of the patient group were females, 46.7% were males and the mean age was 37.7 ±7.7. 53.3% of the healthy control group were females, 46.7% were males and the mean age was 37.1 ±7.2. Body mass index was 24.63 ±2.7 kg/m

conclusionsThis is the first study to evaluate subclinical atherosclerosis in CSU patients. Chronic spontaneous urticaria may be associated with an increased atherosclerotic risk. Serum CRP concentration can also be used as an objective parameter to evaluate disease severity.
