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

About 20% of world population suffer from acute urticaria at some stage in their lives. Recent studies showed coagulation dysfunction in chronic urticaria. The involvement of coagulation changes in acute urticaria remains unclear. Fifty-eight acute urticaria patients were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups (referred to throughout as infection-related and infection-unrelated acute urticaria). The routine laboratory parameters including coagulation tests between the two groups were compared. The correlation between coagulation tests and CRP at acute phase was also assessed. Dynamic change of routine coagulation test results at acute phase and resolving phase was compared. The potential performance of coagulation for infection indication was tested. We found D-dimer, fibrin degradation product (FDP), and fibrinogen (Fg) increased in the acute phase of infection-related acute urticaria patients. D-dimer, FDP, Fg, and APTT are positively correlated with CRP in the acute phase. D-dimer and FDP decreased in the resolving phase of infection-related acute urticaria patients. Higher D-dimer (> 0.48 mg/L) and FDP (> 3.84 mg/L) may indicate infection-related acute urticaria. In conclusion, in acute urticaria with low venous thromboembolism risk, D-dimer level and dynamic change can be potentially used for the infection-related clinical practice management.
