Investigation of Eating Patterns Among Individuals With Chronic Urticaria.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chronic urticaria (CU) is a long-lasting inflammatory skin disease, characterized by recurrent wheals and/or angioedema lasting more than six weeks, often impairing quality of life. Recent findings suggest that eating behavior may play a role in CU symptom exacerbation. This study aimed to evaluate eating behaviors in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and explore their relationship with disease activity and duration. A total of 83 CSU patients and 81 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study. Participants completed the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 18 (TFEQ-R18) to assess eating behaviors, and Beck Depression (BDI) and Anxiety (BAI) Inventories to evaluate psychological symptoms. Disease activity was measured using the Urticaria Activity Score over seven days (UAS7). Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States), with p<0.05 considered significant. Patients with CSU had significantly higher BDI (11.11 ± 7.65 vs. 5.14 ± 4.26; p<0.001) and BAI (12.76 ± 9.32 vs. 5.02 ± 5.91; p<0.001) scores compared to controls. Uncontrolled eating scores were significantly higher in the CSU group (46.54 ± 19.88 vs. 34.06 ± 9.22; p<0.001), whereas emotional eating and cognitive restraint did not differ significantly. UAS7 scores showed a strong positive correlation with uncontrolled eating (r=0.515, p<0.001) and a moderate correlation with emotional eating (r=0.376, p<0.001). Patients with CSU exhibit significantly higher uncontrolled eating behaviors, which are positively associated with disease activity, independent of depression or anxiety. Addressing disordered eating patterns may contribute to improved disease management and quality of life in patients with CU.
