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

This review aims to summarize the main pathophysiological events involved in the development of hereditary angioedema (OMIM#106100). Hereditary angioedema is a rare genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and caused by a loss of control over the plasma contact system or kallikrein-kinin system, which results in unrestrained bradykinin generation or signaling. In patients with hereditary angioedema, BK binding to endothelial cells leads to recurrent episodes of swelling at subcutaneous or submucosal tissues that can be life threatening when affecting the upper respiratory tract. The disease can either present with hypocomplementemia owing to the presence of pathogenic variants in the gene encoding complement C1 inhibitor (hereditary angioedema with C1-inhibitor deficiency) or present with normocomplementemia and associate with elevated estrogen levels owing to gain-of-function variants in the genes encoding coagulation proteins involved in the kallikrein-kinin system (namely, coagulation FXII [FXII-associated hereditary angioedema], plasminogen [PLG-associated hereditary angioedema], and high-molecular-weight kininogen [KNG1-associated hereditary angioedema]). Moreover, in recent years, novel pathogenic variants have been described in the genes encoding angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1-associated hereditary angioedema) and myoferlin (MYOF-associated hereditary angioedema), which further expand the pathophysiological picture of hereditary angioedema.
