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

backgroundChronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) often lacks a clear etiology. While autoimmune and allergic factors can trigger it, stress and life events also play significant roles. As in other psychosomatic disorders, effective stress coping strategies are key to understanding and managing CSU. This study examined how stress coping strategies relate to biomarkers and disease severity in adolescents with CSU.

methodsSixty-five adolescents aged 12-18 years with CSU and 65 healthy controls were recruited. Both groups completed the Turkish-adapted Coping Strategies Scale. Sociodemographic data and relevant biological parameters were obtained from the CSU group at admission. Disease severity was assessed using the Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) and the Urticaria Control Test (UCT). Demographic data and coping scores were compared between the patient and control groups, with additional gender-based comparisons in the CSU group. Regression analysis determined how biological factors and coping strategies explained disease severity.

resultsNo significant differences were found in overall sociodemographic data or stress coping abilities between the patients and healthy groups. However, male CSU patients showed stronger coping skills than the healthy cohort (p = 0.004). Regression analysis revealed that female gender and higher eosinophil levels were linked to poorer control scores, indicating an interplay between biological factors and psychosocial processes (Std. Bs -0.335 (p = 0.016), -0.256 (p = 0.006)).

conclusionThese findings underscore the need for a biopsychosocial approach in adolescents with CSU. Integrating stress management with targeted biological interventions may enhance treatment outcomes and long-term disease control.
