Sex difference in IgE sensitization associated with alcohol consumption in the general population.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The association of alcohol consumption and immunoglobulin E (IgE) sensitization is debated. Few population-based studies have investigated whether such associations differ by sex. We explored the association of alcohol consumption with IgE sensitization in the general population, stratified by sex. We analyzed data for 1,723 adults from the 2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. We divided subjects into three groups according to their self-reported alcohol consumption or serum level of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), an objective marker of alcohol consumption. After adjustments, the odds ratios (ORs) of male high-risk drinkers were 2.09 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34-3.28) for total IgE and 1.71 (95% CI, 1.03-2.83) for Dermatophagoides farinae (DF)-specific IgE compared with male low-risk drinkers. In females, the dog-specific IgE level was associated with high-risk drinking (OR, 11.74; 95% CI, 2.04-67.24). The ORs of males in the high-serum-GGT group were 2.73 (95% CI, 1.72-4.33) for total IgE and 2.17 (95% CI, 1.35-3.47) for DF-specific IgE compared with those in the low-serum-GGT group. This study suggests a possible link between alcohol consumption and IgE sensitization, moreover, the risk of IgE sensitization was significantly higher in male high-risk drinkers. Therefore, clinicians should consider the risk of IgE sensitization possibly afflicting male high-risk drinkers.
