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

Food allergy is mostly a childhood disease that differs from the adult-onset allergy in several aspects, including the prevalence, commonly offending foods, symptomatology, and prognosis. The prevalence is much overestimated by the public, but it probably affects up to 6% of children. In some cases, the diagnosis might be clearly evident, but in most cases an expert evaluation may be needed that usually includes verification by challenge testing. Currently, the management of food allergy is avoidance of the offending foods together with the availability of pharmacologic agents for symptomatic treatment, including self-administered epinephrine. The latter is of utmost importance in highly allergic subjects because accidental trivial exposure is not uncommon. Recent studies promise immunomodulatory agents that might be of potential use for prophylaxis. One such agent is anti-immunoglobulin E, which might be available in the near future.
