Allergy in Irish adults: a survey of referrals and outcomes at a major centre.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThere is an increasing demand for specialist public allergy services across Ireland. Little data exist on the patterns of allergic disease in Irish adults. The limited resources available require innovative strategies to ensure quality care delivery.
aimsThis study aimed to review the types of allergy referrals and diagnostic outcomes at a major Irish centre, and to establish an efficient method of communication with non-specialist practitioners.
methodsDemographic data, referral characteristics and diagnostic outcomes from one hundred consecutive new allergy referrals were identified. Additionally, communications to a pilot email service were reviewed over a 12-month period and user satisfaction assessed.
resultsRequests for the investigation of food allergy accounted for 71% of referrals. Despite this, the main diagnostic outcome in this cohort was a non-allergic condition, chronic spontaneous urticaria (56%). immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy was definitively diagnosed in only 9% of patients, with the majority of these presenting with anaphylaxis. The allergy advice email service received 43 requests for assistance over 12 months, mainly for help in the interpretation of an allergy clinical history. Feedback on the email service was universally positive.
conclusionsThe majority of patients in this cohort did not have IgE-mediated allergic disease. Increased awareness of the features that differentiate allergy from non-allergic conditions such as food intolerance or chronic spontaneous urticaria is required. The allergy advice email service should be developed further to play a key role in education and care delivery in partnership primary care.
