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

backgroundMany patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) remain symptomatic despite receiving second-generation H

methodsCURE is an international, prospective registry of patients with chronic urticaria. Treatment responses were categorized as Urticaria Control Test (UCT) changes from baseline (BL) to 6-month follow-up (FU). Complete response was defined as UCT = 16 with a ≥ 3-point increase.

resultsData were available from 3995 adult patients with CSU at BL and 1288 at FU with evaluable UCT. After treatment escalation from BL to FU, 5.3% (no treatment to licensed-dose sgH

conclusionAppropriate treatment escalation improves CSU control, although only about a quarter of patients achieve a complete response, indicating the need for novel treatments. Many patients with poorly controlled CSU do not receive guideline-recommended treatment escalation and remain symptomatic on their current treatments, which deserves further attention.
