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

backgroundIgE and high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) expression on basophils have been scarcely explored in patients with chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU).

objectivesTo investigate baseline serum IgE and FcεRI expression on blood basophils in a large cohort of CIndU patients and its relationship to treatment response.

methodsBaseline total serum IgE and basophil FcεRI expression measured by flow cytometry in 165 patients with CIndU was studied. The relationship of both parameters with the response to antihistamine and anti-IgE (omalizumab) treatment was considered in a subsample of CIndU patients. FcεRI expression in basophils was assessed by mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) and basophil FcεRI standardized density (receptors/cell).

resultsThe median FcεRI expression standardized per density in blood basophils was found significantly higher in patients with CIndU compared to HCs. A positive correlation was found between IgE serum levels and basophil FcεRI expression. Basal FcεRI expression was not related to antihistamine treatment response. However, it was related to omalizumab, and patients responding to omalizumab showed higher basal basophil expression of FcεRI levels. Non-responders to the antihistamine showed significantly higher IgE serum levels.

conclusionsFcεRI receptor overexpression in patients with CIndU shows almost the same pattern than chronic spontaneous urticaria. It seems to be independent of CIndU subtypes. Although additional studies would be welcome, our work highlights the relevance of FcεRI receptor regulation in CIndU supporting autoimmune basophil and mast cell activation and may be a biomarker for response to anti-IgE therapy.
