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

purposeChronic urticaria (CU) can reduce the quality of life of children and their parents, but there are only a few studies on the course of CU in children. This study aimed to investigate the natural course of CU in children and identify the factors that influence its prognosis.

methodsWe evaluated 77 children diagnosed with CU, who were monitored for at least 48 months. Subjects were classified as either chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) or other CU, and the clinical features were compared. Remission was defined as having no symptoms without treatment for more than 1 year. The remission rate was analyzed, and the factors influencing the prognosis were investigated.

resultsThe average age of the study population was 5.96 ± 4.06 years, and 64 (83.1%) patients had CSU. The remission rates at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 4 years after symptom onset were 22.1%, 40.3%, 52.0%, 63.7%, and 70.2%, respectively, for children with CU. For children with CSU, these values were 23.4%, 43.7%, 56.2%, 68.7%, and 75.0%, respectively. The total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were positively correlated with disease duration (

conclusionsA high proportion of children with CU were classified as CSU. No indicators, except for total IgE were found to predict the timing of spontaneous remission. The CU remission rate identified in this study is expected to be used as one of the reference data for the progress of CU in patients.
