Food allergies and allergens: Characterization and perceptions among diagnosed food allergic individuals in Lebanon.
Article in The World Allergy Organization journal, 2020. 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
backgroundThe aim of our study was to assess the knowledge, practices, and attitudes towards food allergens and allergies among diagnosed food allergic individuals in Lebanon.
methodsSeventy diagnosed participants were recruited after reaching out to all the allergists of the country. They completed in person or over the phone a comprehensive valid questionnaire composed of 49 questions.
resultsWheat was reported as top food allergen (15.7%), while itchy skin and rash were the most reported symptoms (71.4% and 68.6%, respectively). Only 34 (48.6%) of participants indicated they carry medications, 58 (70.7%) were diagnosed using blood test, and 22 (31.4%) stated that they are very knowledgeable on the topic. In terms of knowledge, participants scored on average 84.2 ± 11.5%. In terms of best practices, participants scored on average 47.8 ± 28.3%. Having a health related educational background increased significantly (p < 0.05) both knowledge and best practices scores, while age and gender did not have an effect.
conclusionsOur results highlight the importance of organizing ongoing educational initiatives and emphasize the need to lobby policy makers to making allergen-warning labels obligatory in the country.
