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

backgroundguidelines do not provide specific hospitalization criteria for patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with food-related allergic reactions.

objectiveto determine predictors of hospital admission for ED patients with food-related allergic reactions.

methodswe performed a medical record review at 3 academic centers of patients presenting to the ED for food-related allergic reactions (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes 693.1, 995.0, 995.1, 995.3, 995.7, 995.60-995.69, 558.3, 692.5, and 708.X) between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2006. We focused on patient demographics, medical history, food triggers, clinical presentation, pre-ED and ED management with a specific focus on epinephrine treatment, and disposition. Predictors of hospital admission were determined using multivariable logistic regression.

resultsthrough random sampling and appropriate weighting, the 1,112 cases reviewed represented a study cohort of 2,583 patients. Most patients (80%) were discharged from the ED. The age and sex of patients admitted to the hospital and those discharged were similar. Multivariable analysis identified 3 factors associated with a higher likelihood of hospital admission: meeting the criteria for food-related anaphylaxis (odds ratio [OR], 2.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-4.33), pre-ED epinephrine treatment (OR, 6.65; 95% CI, 3.04-14.57), and epinephrine treatment within 1 hour of ED triage (OR, 3.78; 95% CI, 1.68-8.50). Patients with food-related allergic reactions triggered by shellfish were less likely to be admitted to the hospital (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.08-0.68).

conclusionsmost patients presenting to the ED with food-related allergic reactions are discharged. Several patient factors were independently associated with hospital admission in ED patients with food-related allergic reactions.
