Patient Preferences for Long-Term Prophylactic Treatment in Hereditary Angioedema: A Discrete-Choice Experiment.
Article in The patient, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAlthough there are many long-term prophylactic treatments available for hereditary angioedema, few studies have assessed patient preferences for these treatments.
objectiveWe aimed to assess patient preferences for long-term prophylactic treatment attributes, including treatment trade-offs and the likelihood of starting or switching to a new treatment.
methodsAn online discrete-choice experiment survey instrument was developed and administered to adults in the USA with a self-reported diagnosis of hereditary angioedema. Respondents evaluated a series of choices between pairs of hypothetical long-term prophylactic hereditary angioedema treatment alternatives.
resultsA total of 250 respondents (81.6% female; mean [standard deviation] age, 39 [11] years) completed the survey. Respondents placed the most importance on a reduction in attack frequency (conditional relative attribute importance = 31.7%), a reduced risk of a gastrointestinal side effect (conditional relative attribute importance = 18.5%), and treatments taken as an oral tablet compared with injections (conditional relative attribute importance = 18.1%). Respondents were more willing to accept increases in injection-site reactions compared with their willingness to accept gastrointestinal side effects in these trade-offs. A total of 197 respondents (78.8%) stated they were open to starting a new medication with their preferred mode of administration.
conclusionsA reduction in attack frequency is the most important treatment feature for adults living with hereditary angioedema. The heterogeneity in patient perspectives highlights the need for patient-physician communication when making decisions about initiating a new long-term prophylactic treatment for hereditary angioedema.
