Changes of Gut Microbiome in Adolescent Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria After Omalizumab Treatment.

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
Purpose: Omalizumab is a humanized anti-immunoglobulin (Ig) E monoclonal antibody that is effective in treating some patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who do not respond to antihistamines. Gut microbiome plays a role in the pathogenesis of allergies and autoimmune diseases. Here, we investigated differences in the gut microbiome of adolescent CSU patients before and after omalizumab treatment, which has not been previously reported. Patients and Methods: Ten adolescent CSU patients were given 300 mg omalizumab subcutaneously in three treatments at 4-week intervals. Urticaria Activity Score (UAS7) was applied to evaluate the efficacy of each omalizumab treatment during follow-up. Fecal samples were collected before and 12 weeks after the first treatment. Total DNA of the gut microbiota in all fecal samples were extracted. The 16S rRNA gene-targeted sequencing technology was used for the analysis of the diversity and distribution of gut microbiome, followed by bioinformatics analysis. Results: UAS7 scores decreased significantly after each treatment compared with the baseline (all Conclusion: Omalizumab is effective in treating CSU and the abundance of Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria was reduced after treatment, which may help improve the treatment outcomes in adolescent CSU patients.
