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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to examine if food and/or aeroallergen sensitization was associated with worse asthma, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and laboratory markers.

methodsAt our institution, 386 children with asthma were divided into allergic and nonallergic groups based on allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) testing classes 1-6 versus 0. Asthma severity and/or control, IgE level, eosinophil counts and/or percentages, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC, were compared by using bivariate, regression, and subgroup analyses for children who were highly allergic (≥4 allergens).

resultsA total of 291 subjects with asthma were allergic, significantly older, and had higher mean IgE levels and eosinophil counts and percentages (all p < 0.001). A total of 203 subjects who were highly allergic had worse obstruction on PFTs. Increasing age predicted allergen sensitization after confounder adjustment, odds ratio (OR) 1.54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-2.02). Similarly, PFT obstruction was associated with multiple allergen sensitization (OR 0.97 [95% CI, 0.93-1.02]).

conclusionIncreasing age predicted allergic sensitization and multiple allergen sensitization. Worse obstruction on PFT also predicted multiple allergen sensitization. Continued surveillance of aeroallergen sensitization and PFT results may be beneficial in asthma management, particularly in older urban children.
