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

Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is an uncommon condition characterized by recurrent episodes of urticarial lesions and angioedema and the pathological features of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. UV divides into two subgroups based on the level of serum complement. Usually, patients with hypocomplementemia experience internal organ involvement and an unfavorable prognosis. We report the case of a 33-year-old woman with a history of hepatitis B infection and autoimmune thyroiditis who developed hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis with recurrent angioedema and arthralgia. Complete remission was achieved using dapsone in monotherapy. We suggest dapsone as a potential treatment of choice for hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis. This clinical case emphasizes the need for urticarial vasculitis treatment guidelines.
