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

There is an increase in prevalence and financial burden of childhood atopic disorders in recent years. Understanding allergic conditions of pregnant women is important for developing strategies for prevention and management of allergy-related diseases. However, little is currently known about the atopic conditions in pregnant women.The sera from 46 pregnant women were analyzed for allergen-specific IgE antibodies using the Optigen assay and SDS-PAGE immunoblot analysis.Results from the Optigen assay showed that 20 (43%) of the 46 serum samples analyzed demonstrated IgE reactivity against mite p (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) (95%), mite f (D farinae) (95%), house dust (60%), cat (25%), shrimp (20%), crab (15%), cockroach (10%), dog (5%), latex (5%), willow black (5%), and timothy grass (5%). Nineteen of the 20 Optigen-positive sera demonstrated IgE reactivity against both the house dust mites D pteronyssinus and D farina, with 10 of them having a high IgE CLA class value of 4. IgE reactivity to the house dust mite D pteronyssinus was confirmed in SDS-PAGE-immunoblots, which correlated well with the intensity of IgE-binding to the 15-kDa D pteronyssinus component and to the purified recombinant Der p 2 major house dust mite allergen.A high prevalence of IgE sensitization against house dust mites during pregnancy is noted, which is worthy of clinical attention. Children of IgE-sensitized mothers should be closely monitored for development of allergenic disorders.
