Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

unlabelledThe aim of this study was to investigate the cumulative incidence and predictive variables of treatment failure with a whey-based extensively hydrolyzed formula (w-eHF) in children with cow's milk allergy (CMA). All children were diagnosed with CMA, using double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) with amino acid-based formula as placebo, and receive w-eHF treatment after diagnosis. Forty-nine children with CMA were included. w-eHF treatment failure was defined as incomplete resolution of original CMA symptoms upon w-eHF treatment and disappearance of these symptoms upon replacement of w-eHF with amino acid-based formula. A multiple logistic regression model was used to investigate which variables could predict treatment failure. Twenty-five (51%; 95% confidence interval (CI) 38-64%) of the children with CMA failed on w-eHF. Only "gastrointestinal discomfort" was found to contribute independently to the probability of failing w-eHF, odds ratio (95% CI) 8.994 (1.007-79.457).

conclusionsIn half of the children with proven CMA, there is incomplete resolution of symptoms upon w-eHF treatment. This study needs to be repeated including DBPCFC with w-eHF to provide more definitive diagnosis, especially since gastrointestinal discomfort seems to be the sole predictive variable for treatment failure. In the meantime, a change in formula should be considered in children with incomplete symptom resolution upon w-eHF treatment.
