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

Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is when lesions occur for ≥6 weeks. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. CSU prevalence is similar in adult and pediatric patients; nevertheless, few data are available on CSU characteristics in pediatric patients. We aimed to describe the epidemiology, clinical features, and treatment approach of CSU in pediatrics and adults. In this cross-sectional study, 193 patients with CSU were treated at the Sheba Medical Center, Israel, in 2009-2022. The information collected includes age at diagnosis, reported triggers, atopic co-morbidities, autoimmune co-morbidities, treatments and their response, family background, laboratory tests, and follow-up duration. The study group was divided into pediatrics (aged ≤ 18) and adults. Metabolic syndrome was most prevalent in adults as against atopy in pediatrics. Autoimmune co-morbidities were observed in 34.7% and 34.8% of adults and pediatrics, respectively. Inflammatory bowel disease and thyroid disease were the most common in pediatrics and adults, respectively. Systemic treatments other than antihistamines were administered more frequently in adults. Adults with autoimmune disease required second-line treatment with immunomodulators compared to those without it. Co-morbidities were more common in adults than in pediatrics. Patients with autoimmune co-morbidities may be more challenging to manage; thus, escalation to biologics should be considered soon.
