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

A 58-year-old non-atopic chemical worker complained about work-related asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis about 4 years after exposure to quillaja bark and soapnut. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness was demonstrated after withdrawal of medication for 12 hours. Skin prick tests with extracts from quillaja bark and soapnut from the workplace were positive, but ImmunoCAP was positive only with quillaja bark, probably due to the low protein content of the extract from soapnut. Sensitizations to quillaja bark and soapnut, but not to saponin were demonstrated by immunoblot. An inhalation test with a dosimeter was positive with the soapnut extract. A link between disease and exposure was documented by serial measurements of exhaled nitric oxide at and off work, despite preventive measures. A diagnosis of occupational allergy due to quillaja bark and soapnut was made. Further exposure reduction was recommended.
