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

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a common skin disorder characterized by an almost daily recurrence of wheal and flare with itch for more than 6 weeks, in association with the release of stored inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, from skin mast cells and/or peripheral basophils. The involvement of the extrinsic coagulation cascade triggered by tissue factor (TF) and complement factors, such as C3a and C5a, has been implied in the pathogenesis of CSU. However, it has been unclear how the TF-triggered coagulation pathway and complement factors induce the activation of skin mast cells and peripheral basophils in patients with CSU. In this review, we focus on the role of vascular endothelial cells, leukocytes, extrinsic coagulation factors and complement components on TF-induced activation of skin mast cells and peripheral basophils followed by the edema formation clinically recognized as urticaria. These findings suggest that medications targeting activated coagulation factors and/or complement components may represent new and effective treatments for patients with severe and refractory CSU.
