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

backgroundIncidences of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) related systemic reactions (SRs) and fatal reactions (FRs) are not well defined, nor are delayed-onset SRs and their treatment.

objectivesTo estimate SCIT-related SRs/FRs, and the incidence and treatment of delayed-onset SRs.

methodsIn 2008 and 2009, American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and American College of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) members completed a survey about SCIT-related SR severity (grade 1 = mild; grade 2 = moderate; grade 3 = severe anaphylaxis). In 2009, members reported the time of onset and use of epinephrine (EPI), with early onset defined as beginning ≤30 minutes, and delayed onset beginning more than 30 minutes after injections.

resultsAs in year 1, no FRs were reported during year 2 (630 total practices responded). Among 267 practices providing data on the timing of SRs, 1,816 early-onset SRs (86%) and 289 (14%) delayed-onset SRs were reported. Fifteen percent (226/1,519) of grade 1, 10% (54/538) of grade 2, and 12.5% (9/72) of grade 3 SRs were delayed-onset. Among early-onset SRs, EPI was given for 71% of grade 1, 93% of grade 2, and 94% of grade 3s. Among delayed-onset SRs, EPI was given for 56% of grade 1, 67% of grade 2, and 100% of grade 3s (P = .0008 for difference in EPI administration based on severity; P = .07 based on time of onset).

conclusionsDelayed-onset SRs are less frequent than previously reported. Epinephrine was given less frequently for grades 1 and 2 (but not grade 3) delayed-onset SRs compared with early-onset SRs. Further study of prescribing self-injectable EPI for SCIT patients in the event of delayed-onset SRs may be warranted.
