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

backgroundChildhood asthma is an important public health problem worldwide. Risk factors for asthma development include allergic sensitization and exposure to animals.

objectiveTo identify which (perennial or seasonal) inhalant allergens are associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis in children.

methodsThis was a cross-sectional, retrospective study. We evaluated data from medical documentation of 6,000 children (aged 6 - 18 years) with diagnosed asthma and/or allergic rhinitis who had attended our allergy outpatient clinic. Into the analyses we included those subjects who had specific IgE test done during diagnostic procedures to confirm allergen sensitization.

resultsWe included 5,076 children in the analysis. We showed that among seasonal allergens only sensitization to timothy or birch significantly changed the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and asthma diagnosis. Of the perennial allergens, house dust mite or cat were most closely related with both allergic rhinitis and asthma. Results of ROC curve analysis showed that in atopic children the specific IgE level of seasonal allergens did not significantly change the prevalence of asthma diagnosis. Sensitization to more than one perennial allergen significantly increased the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and asthma.

conclusionWe showed that sensitization to the seasonal allergens timothy and birch as well as to the perennial allergens house dust mite and cat, is associated with asthma and allergic rhinitis in children. Our study determined the role of multiple perennial indoor allergens in the developement of allergic diseases in children. The identification of the specific allergens makes them potential targets for intervention and prevention strategies.
