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

introductionEpidemiological data on anaphylaxis have been underestimated both in Poland and worldwide.

aimTo evaluate the prevalence of anaphylaxis in Poland, including a classification by gender, age and residential region. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe data used in the analysis were derived from two sources, the National Health Fund records of healthcare services for 2008-2015 (official statistics) and a questionnaire-based survey conducted in 2015 on a sample of 305 allergists practicing in different regions of Poland.

resultsIn 2015, 3144 people received treatment for anaphylactic shock (T78.0, T78.2, T80.5, T88.6) with an estimated prevalence rate of anaphylaxis of 8.2 per 100,000 (8.4 for females and 7.9 for males). The highest prevalence rate was found for women aged 50-54 years (14.5 per 100,000). There was a very large difference in the prevalence of anaphylaxis between rural and urban areas (13.1 vs. 0.8 per 100,000). In 2015, the Polish NHF spent PLN 3.5 million (EUR 835,000) on the management of anaphylaxis. Of the allergists surveyed, 73% had been currently managing patients who had experienced anaphylactic shock. The most common causes of anaphylaxis included insect venom (41.4%), food (29.8%) and drugs (17.4%).

conclusionsA central anaphylaxis registry should be established in Poland. This is the only approach that would allow collecting a wide range of reliable information on the cases, management and consequences of anaphylaxis. Ongoing management of patients who have experienced anaphylactic shock should be improved.
