Growth of children with food allergies in Singapore.
Article in Asia Pacific allergy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAlthough it is known that children with food allergies are at risk of impaired growth, this has not been well studied in South-East Asia.
objectiveThe aim of this cross-sectional study is to survey the growth of children with food allergies in Singapore and the factors impacting it.
methodsAnthropometric data, demographic data, type of food allergy, foods eliminated, and atopic comorbidities were recorded. Malnutrition was defined using World Health Organization standards (≤-2
resultsSeventy-four patients (51% male) were recruited over 1 month, with median age at diagnosis of 8 months (interquartile range [IQR], 4-13 months) and at data collection of 25 months (IQR, 14-48 months). Sixty-two (84%) had IgE-mediated allergy, 8 (11%) mixed IgE and non-IgE, and 4 (5%) non-IgE-mediated allergy. Food exclusions: 55% one food, 27% two foods, 8% three to four foods, and 10% ≥5 foods. Only 1% were underweight (WA ≤ -2
conclusionThis is the first survey documenting growth in children with food allergy in Singapore. Eczema, IgE-mediated and mixed type allergies are associated with poorer growth rates in these children. Early, individualised nutritional intervention is recommended for all children with food allergy.
