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

The relationship between eosinophils/basophils and allergic sensitization is not clear in pediatric adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH). The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between eosinophil/basophil counts and peripheral specific IgE levels, and identify the common allergens in children with ATH. We initially screened 1,031 consecutive children who underwent adenotonsillectomy in our department from June 2018 to June 2019, and finally included 676 children. The eosinophil count, basophil count, and levels of specific IgE were collected. Correlations between two quantitative variables were assessed using the Pearson or Spearman coefficient. Logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the odds ratios (ORs) for atopy after controlling for age, sex, vitamin D, BMI, and visiting season. Both the eosinophil and basophil counts in atopic participants were significantly higher compared to non-atopic participants. The eosinophil count correlated with the levels of IgE specific to all allergens, and eosinophilia was independently associated with all tested atopy allergens other than atopy to dander after multivariate adjustment. Additionally, the basophil count correlated with the IgE levels specific to A.
