Sleep Disturbance and Chronic Urticaria: A Narrative Review of Its Relationship, Treatment and Evolving Literature.
Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background and Aims: Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria is characterized by the sudden onset of itchy wheals and angioedema and is primarily driven by mast cells. It can have a significant impact on the Quality of Life (QoL) of an individual. While the role of mast cells in urticaria is extensively described, the link between sleep disorders and inflammatory skin conditions such as urticaria is still being explored. The review aims to provide an overview of the current knowledge about chronic urticaria, elaborating on the impact of poor sleep quality on QoL of patients with urticaria, with a focus on their emotional well-being. Methods: The review explores potential mechanisms linking chronic urticaria and sleep disturbances, such as persistent itching and discomfort, the release of inflammatory mediators, systemic inflammation, psychological factors, and effects of medication. Results: The review finds that sleep disturbances have a significant impact on chronic urticaria. It identifies several potential mechanisms linking the two conditions, including persistent symptoms, inflammatory processes, psychological factors, and medication effects. Treatment approaches include a combination of pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Conclusion: The article emphasizes the significance of recognizing the impact of sleep disturbances on chronic urticaria. It lays the groundwork for future research to expand our understanding of this association, ultimately leading to improved management strategies and improved QoL for affected individuals.
