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

backgroundPresently, little is known about the laboratory data several hours after oral food challenge (OFC) in patients with immunoglobulin (Ig)E-mediated immediate food allergy (FA).

methodsOne hundred and twelve subjects who underwent OFC at the present institute between 1 June 2016 and 31 March 2018, were enrolled in this study. Changes in laboratory data several hours after OFC were examined.

resultsOFC was positive in 76 patients and negative in 36. Increase in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) was significantly higher in OFC-positive than in OFC-negative subjects (median, 2,306/μL vs 637/μL; P < 0.00001). On multivariate regression analysis, a significant correlation was seen between neutrophilia and the development of gastrointestinal symptoms (t = 3.63; P < 0.001). Serum interleukin-6 increased in 43.8% of the patients with marked neutrophilia and had a significant positive correlation with ANC (r = 0.64; P < 0.001). Serum amylase increased in 33.3% of the OFC-positive patients and was >100 U/L (median, 642 U/L) in five patients in whom serum lipase also increased markedly (1,197 U/L). There was a significant negative correlation between increase in serum amylase and decrease in absolute eosinophil count (r = -0.36, P < 0.01).

conclusionsMarked neutrophilia was seen after OFC in patients with immediate FA presenting gastrointestinal symptoms, which may provide an insight into the relationship between symptoms and laboratory data. A considerable increase in serum amylase after OFC was also seen in patients with immediate FA, suggesting that the pancreas is a target organ for immediate FA.
