Role of Food Allergy Education: Measuring Teacher Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs.
Article in Allergy & rhinology (Providence, R.I.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
introductionAlmost 6 million children suffer from food allergies with roughly 2 affected per classroom. Deficiencies in knowledge and discrepancies in attitudes within school staff when addressing food allergies are associated with barriers to care. In this study, school teacher knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes were measured before and after a food allergy educational session.
methodsThree hundred seventy-five personnel of similar age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and educational level completed the Chicago Food Allergy Research survey before and after a 1-hour educational session in 6 private schools in Houston randomly assigned into an intervention (n = 4) and control group (n = 2). Responses were measured using frequencies and percentages. The group score differences and survey question comparisons were evaluated with a linear mixed-effects model.
resultsPosttest, the intervention group had knowledge scores 19.58% points higher than control (95% confidence interval = 16.62-22.53;
conclusionA 1-hour educational session improved knowledge and attitudes in personnel in the intervention schools. Given the growing prevalence of food allergy, the emphasis on food allergy education is crucial to allow for familiarization of the condition, early recognition of anaphylaxis, and promotion of injectable epinephrine use.
