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

backgroundConvenient dosing is a key component of treatment adherence and thus efficacy and safety. Aqueous sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) formulations can be administered with a dosing pump that delivers 200 µL of volume per actuation.

objectiveThe objective of this study was to describe the use of Staloral PATIENTS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective non-interventional study in a population (aged 5 years or over) of individuals with allergic rhinitis or allergic asthma who were being treated with aqueous 300 index of reactivity SLIT formulations of various allergens (grass pollen, tree pollen, house dust mites). Based on a detailed, SLIT-specific, patient self-questionnaire (Quartis

resultsA total of 801 valid patients were included (52.4% male; mean ± standard deviation age: 25.9 ± 17.2 years; mean time since diagnosis: 4.56 ± 4.68 years; mean time using the previous dosing pump: 19.2 ± 13.0 months; time using the 200-µL dosing pump: 14.95 ± 3.80 months). Among the study population, 317 subjects comprised the paediatric subgroup (57%: male; mean age: 9.8 ± 2.5 years). Overall, 54 patients (6.7%) reported a total of 68 adverse events (including 51 gastrointestinal adverse events). The large majority of adverse events were mild, local and transient and did not require treatment. There were no severe adverse events. The level of patient satisfaction with the ease of SLIT administration was high (84.3% overall, and 82.6% in the paediatric subgroup). The mean ± standard deviation visual analogue scale score for physician satisfaction with the treatment was 70.6 ± 25.1 out of 100.

conclusionsAdministration of 300 index of reactivity SLIT with a 200-µL dosing pump is safe, well tolerated and associated with good levels of patient satisfaction.
