Identification of predictors for persistence of immediate-type egg allergy in Chinese children.
Article in Asia Pacific 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
backgroundEgg allergy is one of the most common food allergies in childhood with increasing prevalence in Hong Kong. While ample studies were published on its optimal diagnosis, there was limited data on predictors for the natural history of egg allergy in Asian populations.
objectiveThis study aimed to characterize the clinical course and outcome of children with egg allergy and identify its prognostic factors.
methodsAll Chinese children with immediate-type egg allergy being followed since ≥3 years old in allergy clinic of our university-affiliated teaching hospital were reviewed to determine if they outgrew egg allergy at the latest follow-up. The predictive values of clinical and atopic factors for resolution of egg allergy were analyzed on Kaplan-Meier curves, and factors independently associated with persistent egg allergy was analyzed by logistic regression.
resultsSeventy-six patients with median (interquartile range) age 8.9 years (6.3-13.0 years) were recruited. They initially presented with egg-allergic reactions at 1.0 years (0.7-1.7 years). Fifty-four children (71%) were able to tolerate egg at a median of 36 months from initial reaction. Patients with concomitant peanut allergy and those with initial reaction at ≥1 year old were more likely to have persistent egg allergy (
conclusionMost Chinese children with immediate-type egg allergy can tolerate egg in long run. SPT wheal size to egg, concomitant peanut allergy and initial presentation after infancy may predict egg allergy persistence.
