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

backgroundIndividuals with peanut allergy range in clinical sensitivity: some can consume grams of peanut before experiencing any symptoms, whereas others suffer systemic reactions to 10 mg or less. Current diagnostic testing only partially predicts this clinical heterogeneity.

objectiveWe sought to identify characteristics of the peanut-specific CD4

methodsWe studied the T-cell receptor β-chain (TCRβ) usage and phenotypes of peanut-activated, CD154

resultsTCRβ analysis of the CD154

conclusionsExpansion of the peanut-specific effector T-cell repertoire is correlated with clinical sensitivity, and this observation may be useful to inform our assessment of disease phenotype and to monitor disease longitudinally.
