African American Children Are More Likely to Be Allergic to Shellfish and Finfish: Findings from FORWARD, a Multisite Cohort Study.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. In practice, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
backgroundDespite major differences in health profiles and rates of health care utilization between African American and White children with food allergy (FA), the detailed phenotypic variables that can potentially impact these outcomes have not been thoroughly studied.
objectiveWe aimed to characterize phenotypic differences such as allergies to different foods and allergic comorbidities between African American and White children with FA enrolled in the Food Allergy Outcomes Related to White and African American Racial Differences study.
methodsOur active, prospective, multicenter cohort study is currently enrolling African American and White children aged 0 to 12 years diagnosed with FA and followed by allergy/immunology clinics at 4 urban tertiary centers in the United States. To evaluate associations between race and phenotypic variables, we used multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for important demographic and confounding factors, as well as potential household clustering.
resultsAs of May 2020, there were 239 African Americans and 425 Whites with complete intake information enrolled in the study. In comparison with Whites, we found that African Americans had significantly higher adjusted odds of allergy to finfish (odds ratio [OR]: 2.54, P < .01) and shellfish (OR: 3.10, P < .001). African Americans also had higher adjusted odds of asthma than Whites (asthma prevalence of 60.5% in African Americans and 27.2% in Whites; OR: 2.70, P < .001). In addition, shellfish allergy was associated with asthma, after controlling for race.
conclusionAmong a diverse cohort of children with physician-diagnosed FA, we observed that African American children had higher odds of allergy to shellfish and finfish, and higher rates of asthma. Interestingly, having asthma was independently associated with allergy to shellfish, after controlling for race.
