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

Acute urticaria is a condition characterized by the rapid onset of raised, itchy welts, often triggered by various factors. This report presents a case of acute urticaria that may be related to excessive intake of nicotine from smoking cessation lozenges. The patient had consumed a large amount of smoking cessation lozenges (containing nicotine) 3 days before the onset of symptoms, which was suspected to be caused by nicotine overdose. But, the association between nicotine overdose and acute urticaria is hypothetical and cannot be confirmed based on a single case. Following 10 days of treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, pantoprazole, nebulized terbutaline and dexamethasone, and oral antihistamines, the patient improved significantly and was discharged.
