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

introductionThe results of some previous studies suggested that maternal folate supplementation during pregnancy may contribute to allergy development in offspring.

aimThis study was performed to examine the influence of maternal folic acid intake prior to and during pregnancy on the development of various types of allergy in children taking into account the timing and dosage of supplemented folate. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe retrospective study was performed between 2010 and 2014 in 307 child-mother pairs (203 allergic children and 104 children without allergy symptoms, aged 2-72 months). Allergy diagnosis was based on medical history, physical examination, positive results of allergic tests: specific IgE and/or skin prick tests and double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge. The data concerning maternal folate supplementation prior to and during pregnancy were obtained based on a questionnaire.

resultsMothers of allergic children used to take folic acid more frequently in the preconception period (42.9%), in the 1

conclusionsOur results suggest an impact of maternal folic acid supplementation prior to and during pregnancy on allergy development in children. Further observations are required to establish the role of folate in fetal epigenetic modifications.
