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

backgroundChronic urticaria (CU) is comprised of diverse phenotypes, and thus, a shift towards a precision medical approach is warranted in its management.

methodsThis study enrolled 78 patients with CU. Serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate, hemoglobin, hematocrit, eosinophil count, IgE, antinuclear antibody (ANA), and serum diamine oxidase (DAO) levels of the patients were measured and were compared according to the patient's response to second-generation antihistamines (sgAH), corticosteroids, leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA), H

resultsAge- and sex-adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that patients with duration of CU > 3 years (adjusted odd ratio [aOR] = 4.39) and a DAO level < 10 U/mL (aOR = 3.90) were significantly associated with a good sgAH response. Age > 50 years (aOR = 0.02), duration of chronic urticaria > 3 years (aOR =0.06), and an ANA titer ≥ 1 : 80 (aOR = 0.03) were significantly and inversely associated with corticosteroid response. A low-histamine diet response was significantly associated with LTRA response (aOR = 67.29). In addition, a DAO level < 5.4 U/mL (aOR = 71.95) was significantly associated with H

conclusionsSeveral promising biomarkers were identified in this study to predict the efficacy of chronic urticaria treatment. DAO could be a novel biomarker for predicting the efficacy not only of dietary intervention but also for antagonists of H
