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

backgroundSensitization means elevated number of specific immunoglobulin E, either measured by skin prick test or in blood samples. Sensitization is associated with, but not synonymous with, allergic disease.

methodsThe Danish Calmette Study was conducted from 2012 to 2015 at three Danish hospitals, with the aim of exploring nonspecific effects of neonatal Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination. Participants at Kolding Hospital were invited to have a blood sample analyzed for allergic sensitization at 13 months of age. Telephone interviews gave information about allergic symptoms, and the children were examined for signs of atopic dermatitis at 3 and 13 months.

resultsOf the 1241 children included in the Danish Calmette Study in Kolding 1066 (86%) had a blood sample drawn, representing 36% of the invited families. The blood sample cohort had a relatively high percentage of atopic predisposition (66.6%) and most mothers had a medium or long education. We found 90 infants (8.4%) to be sensitized, with sensitization against food items (milk, egg, peanut, and hazelnut) being the most common. Atopic dermatitis was found in 19% of the children, and it was significantly associated with sensitization against egg, peanut, wheat, cat, and dog.

conclusionIn a partly selected Danish cohort, sensitization was present in 8% at 13 months of age, especially sensitization against food items. Children with atopic dermatitis were significantly more sensitized (16.6%). However, most sensitized children did not have any allergic symptoms at this age.
