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

purpose of reviewThe prevalence of food allergy is rising globally. This review will discuss recent discoveries regarding the immunologic mechanisms that drive the initial sensitization and allergic response to food antigens, which may inform prevention and treatment strategies. RECENT

findingsTolerance to food antigens is antigen-specific and promoted by oral exposure early in life and maternal transfer of immune complexes via breast milk. IgG can inhibit both the initiation and effector phases of allergic responses to food antigens in mice, and high levels of food-specific IgG4 are associated with acquisition of tolerance in humans. Disruption of the skin barrier provides a route for food sensitization through the actions of mast cells, type 2 innate lymphoid cells, and IL-33 signaling. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) promote acquisition of oral tolerance, although defects in circulating allergen-specific Tregs are not evident in children with established food allergy. Certain microbes can offer protection against the development of IgE and food allergic responses, while dysbiosis increases susceptibility to food allergy. SUMMARY: Tolerance to food antigens is antigen-specific and is promoted by oral exposure early in life, maternal transfer of immune complexes, food-specific IgG, Tregs, an intact skin barrier, and a healthy microbiome.
