School allergy training promotes internal policy review and enhances staff's preparedness in managing pupils with food allergy.
Article in Clinical and translational allergy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRecently non-statutory allergy management guidance for schools has been produced in the United Kingdom; however, there has been limited progress in implementing this. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of face-to-face training on self-reported school staff preparedness in managing the severely allergic child and whether it would stimulate schools' allergy policy review.
methodsA preparedness survey was conducted prior and 2 months post-intervention to assess the effect of training on self-reported preparedness and perceived confidence to manage children with food allergies.
resultsA sample of 18 primary schools that consented to participate were selected. Of the trained schools, 89% of the head teachers felt confident in dealing with an allergy emergency compared to 39% prior training (p = 0.016). Post-intervention all but one had arranged/were considering introducing allergy awareness sessions to help pupils manage their allergies (45% pre-training vs. post-training 93%, p = 0.003). Preventative measures for accidental exposure to food allergens (i.e., no food sharing policy) were adopted by all (pre-training 61% vs. post-training 100%, p = 0.03).
conclusionA face-to-face school allergy training programme enhances self-reported staff preparedness and promotes internal allergy policy review in managing the needs of these children, hence addressing the current gap between recommendations and practice in schools.
