The Influence of Gamma Radiation Processing on the Allergenicity of Main Pistachio Allergens.

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
backgroundGamma irradiation is a form of processing with an array of applications in medical sciences such as microbial decontamination, viruses inactivation, cervical carcinoma and breast cancer treatment. One of the ways in which gamma irradiation has the potential to be used is in reducing the allergenicity of food allergens.
methodsIn the present study, pistachios were irradiated with either a 1, 10, or 100 kGy dose of gamma irradiation. The binding rate of mice and human antibodies to the allergens of the pistachio extracts were examined via Western blot analysis.
resultsOur findings show an inverse dose-response relationship between the binding rate of antibodies to the pistachio allergens and the gamma irradiation dose. Despite these promising findings, the results of our sensory evaluation indicate that gamma irradiation causes undesirable changes to the sensory characteristics of pistachios, especially at the dose of 100 kGy.
conclusionGamma irradiation appears to be an effective method in reducing the allergenicity of pistachios. Thus, this form of processing has the potential to prevent adverse allergic reactions to the major pistachio allergens in sensitized subjects. However, further research must be dedicated to examining the dose sufficient in reducing allergencity, while maintaining adequate sensory quality for satisfactory consumption.
