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

Immunoglobulin E-mediated food allergy is rapidly developing into a global health problem. Publicly available therapeutic intervention strategies are currently restricted to allergen avoidance and emergency treatments. To gain a better understanding of the disease pathophysiology so that new therapies can be developed, major research efforts have been put into studying food allergy in mice. Animal models should reflect the human pathology as closely as possible to allow for a rapid translation of basic science observations to the bedside. In this regard, experimental models of food allergy provide significant challenges for research because of discrepancies between the presentation of disease in humans and mice. The goal of this review is to give a summary of commonly used murine disease models and to discuss how they relate to the human condition. We will focus on epicutaneous sensitization models, on mouse strains that sensitize spontaneously to food as seen in humans, and on models in humanized animals. In summary, expanding the research toolbox of experimental food allergy provides an important step toward closing gaps in our understanding of the derailing immune mechanism that underlies the human disease. The availability of additional experimental models will provide exciting opportunities to discover new intervention points for the treatment of food allergies.
