Cholinergic Urticaria: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Physical activity plays an important role in our health. Yet, the practice of physical exercise or the consequent sweating itself can be a causal factor of skin pathology. Cholinergic urticaria is an entity characterized by itchy papules associated with heat and/or sweat, with exercise being the main triggering factor. While urticaria can be common, cholinergic urticaria is a rare entity in primary care and is usually overlooked. Promoting medical literacy and public awareness should be incorporated as a tool to provide support and management for these cases, which is emphasized in this case presentation. This case report presents a typical case, and discusses the added value of new technologies, like smartphones, in the diagnosis of cholinergic urticaria, its symptomatic treatment with antihistamines, and its follow-up. Patient empowerment and reassurance are the key aspects of therapeutic success and the role of the family doctor is crucial. The physician in this report reassured the patient, by properly explaining her condition, possible limitations, and when to seek medical attention, which resulted in a considerable improvement in her quality of life.
