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.

Abstract

backgroundEosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a T-cell-mediated disease that is caused by specific foods and results in esophageal dysfunction. Existing allergy testing modalities are not helpful when attempting to identify EoE-causal foods necessitating empiric food elimination and recurrent endoscopy. The goal of this study was to identify and compare allergen-specific immune features that can be assayed in a minimally invasive manner to predict clinical food allergy in EoE.

methodsWe obtained blood samples from control subjects (n = 17), subjects with clinical EoE milk allergy (n = 17), and subjects with immunoglobulin E-mediated milk allergy (n = 9). We measured total and milk-specific plasma immunoglobulin G (IgG)4 levels and peripheral memory CD4

resultsTotal and milk-specific IgG4 levels were not significantly different between control subjects and subjects with clinical EoE milk allergy. Stimulation with milk proteins caused T

conclusionsPeripheral markers of allergen-specific immune activation may be useful in identifying EoE-causal foods. Assaying milk-dependent IL-4 production by circulating memory T
