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

Purpose of Review: Contact urticaria syndrome includes contact urticaria and protein contact dermatitis. Underreport, underdiagnosis, or misdiagnosis of entities within the contact urticaria syndrome is believed to be common, especially in the occupational setting. This review provides a structured overview of the entities comprised in this syndrome as well as the diagnostic work-up and management strategies. Recent Findings: Contact urticaria syndrome has been increasingly described due to personal protective equipment and hand sanitizers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of legal cannabis products has led to a rise in occupational cases of contact urticaria to cannabis. A declining trend in the evolution of contact urticaria has been described for natural rubber latex allergy due to the use of synthetic gloves. Prick test has been proposed as a screening method, particularly if multiple products are to be tested, instead of the classical sequential scheme. Summary: Physicians should be aware of the growing number of culprit agents leading to contact urticaria syndrome. Clinical presentation may be challenging since it includes immediate urticaria and/or eczema and even more generalized reactions. Diagnosis requires a high degree of suspicion, detailed occupational history, and complementary tests, including skin testing. The best treatment is to avoid contact with the culprit agent and to implement preventive measures.
