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

backgroundAsthma is common worldwide and a large part of subjects with asthma have concomitant allergic multimorbidity in the form of rhinitis and/or eczema.

objectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate whether the presence of allergic multimorbidity in asthma relates to allergic sensitization, allergic and respiratory symptoms, quality of life, inflammatory markers, lung function, use of medication and background factors.

methodsA total of 437 asthmatics from the (GA

resultsSubjects with asthma, rhinitis and eczema were more likely to be sensitized to seasonal allergens (67% vs 32%, P < .001), food allergens (54% vs 18%, P < .001) and to have a higher degree of sensitization than subjects with only asthma (23% vs 10%, P < .001). Subjects with allergic multimorbidity more often had allergic reactions to food (28% vs 10%, P = .002), more respiratory symptoms and anxiety/depression (40% vs, 14%, P < .001) than subjects with only asthma, despite having similar levels of type 2 inflammatory markers. Individuals with allergic multimorbidity were more likely to be diagnosed with asthma before the age of 12 (48% vs 27%, P = .016) and to have maternal heredity for allergy (53% vs 33%, P = .011) than subjects with only asthma. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Asthmatics with allergic multimorbidity are more likely to be sensitized to seasonal aeroallergens, food allergens and they have a higher degree of sensitization compared with those with only asthma. Allergic multimorbidity is associated with respiratory and allergy symptoms, anxiety and/or depression.
