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

objectiveTo explore treatment preferences of patients with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), a debilitating disorder characterized by potentially life-threatening, recurrent episodes of swelling, resulting in significant physical, emotional, and economic burden. With newer oral prophylactic treatments on the horizon, it is important to understand patients' preferences.

methodsAn online survey was conducted in 2018 among United States (US) adult patients diagnosed with Type I or II HAE. Respondents were recruited anonymously from online panels and social media.

resultsOnline surveys were completed by 75 patients diagnosed with HAE by a healthcare provider, with a mean of 16.7 years since diagnosis. Most patients (64%) report taking at least one medication for prophylaxis of HAE attacks. While almost all patients surveyed agree it is important to take preventative medication as prescribed, over half (52%) of patients report HAE prophylactic treatment to be burdensome. Despite stating that they like their current medications, 98% of the prophylactic HAE medication users would prefer an oral treatment if available; almost all (96%) prophylaxis users agree that oral preventative medication would fit their life better than an injectable medication, with 67% of users citing convenience as the primary reason to try an oral preventative HAE medication. If a more convenient option were available, nearly all (96%) patients currently not treating their HAE prophylactically would feel encouraged to do so.

conclusionsMost patients with HAE would prefer a newer generation oral prophylactic medication that would decrease treatment burden and allow them to live fuller lives.
