Prevalence of IgE-mediated cow milk, egg, and peanut allergy in young Singapore children.
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 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: The rising prevalence of food allergy reported in the United States, UK, and Australia may be attributable to the rise in peanut allergy prevalence. The food allergy prevalence in other parts of the world such as Asia is, however, less well documented. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of cow's milk, egg, and peanut allergies in a general population of Singaporean children below 30 months of age. Methods: A total of 4,115 children from the general population who attended well-baby visits between 2011 and 2015 completed standardized questionnaires to elicit a convincing history of food allergy to estimate the population prevalence of food allergies. Results: The prevalence of a convincing history of cow's milk allergy was 0.51% (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.3-0.7), hen's egg allergy 1.43% (95% CI, 1.1-1.8), and peanut allergy 0.27% (95% CI, 0.12-0.42). Of the 15 of 59 children with a convincing history of hen's egg allergy who consented, 12 (80%) had corroborative positive skin prick tests. Conclusion: The prevalence of food allergy, in particular peanut allergy, in children below 2 years of age is lower in this South East Asian population than reported in Western cohorts. Further research should focus on deciphering differential risk factors for food allergy across different geographical locations.
