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

(1) Background: To assess the relationship between serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) values and disease severity in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and to examine which of these serum biomarkers better indicates disease severity. (2) Methods: Our pilot study included 20 patients with CSU who filled out questionnaires concerning disease severity and quality of life (the Urticaria Activity Score summed over 7 days [UAS7], the once-daily Urticaria Activity Score [UAS], the Urticaria Control Test [UCT], and the Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI]). Blood samples were taken to measure IL-6, ESR and CRP. (3) Results: ESR significantly correlated with the UAS7 (linear and moderate correlation; r = 0.496;
