Surveillance of pollen-food allergy syndrome in elementary and junior high school children in Saitama, Japan.
Article in Asia Pacific allergy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundBecause few studies have epidemiologically evaluated pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS), relevant information about this disease is limited in children.
objectiveWe wanted to clarify the epidemiological details of PFAS by creating a questionnaire which enables to distinguish class 2 food allergy from that of class 1.
methodsWe conducted a questionnaire survey for schoolchildren attending to public elementary and junior high schools. In this questionnaire, we asked about both the allergy to fruits and/or vegetables and allergic rhinitis (AR). PFAS was, then, defined as allergy for fruits and/or vegetable which occurred after the symptoms of AR appeared.
resultsA total of 2,346 children (median age, 10.6±2.5 years; 1,157 boys) were evaluated. The prevalence of PFAS was 6.9% among subjects. The mean ages in the onset of AR and PFAS were 4.59±2.76 and 7.38±3.17 years old, respectively. Various kinds of foods were shown to be causative, among which kiwifruits were the commonest. As high as approximately 30% of children with PFAS experienced systemic symptoms including cutaneous (21.8%) and respiratory symptoms (9.6%). Anaphylaxis was diagnosed in 5.8% children.
conclusionOur results indicated that the prevalence of PFAS was getting higher and the mean age of onset was getting lower. These may be attributed to the increasing number of patients with AR and also to the lower age of onset of AR. We have to be careful to not only local but also systemic symptoms when examining children with PFAS.
