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 often follows a prolonged and variable course, yet baseline disease duration is inconsistently reported in clinical trials, limiting interpretation of treatment outcomes. Accordingly, this systematic review aimed to evaluate baseline disease duration and reporting practices in phase-III trials for chronic spontaneous urticaria. Of 36 trials identified, only 16 (44.4%) reported baseline disease duration (mean: 5.30 ± 1.81 years). Differences in average disease duration were observed by publication date and intervention of interest. Definitions of disease duration were frequently unspecified, and no trials examined efficacy stratified by disease duration. This review ultimately highlights a gap in disease duration reporting, underscoring the need for standardization and transparency in clinical trial design.
