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

Background: The gold standard to diagnose food allergy (FA) is a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (OFC), even if it shows potential risk of severe allergic reactions for the patient and is time-consuming. Therefore, easier, and less invasive methods are needed to diagnose FA and predict the tolerance, changing the clinical practice. Aim: The main aim of this study was to assess whether the total IgE values at the diagnosis of FA were associated with the duration of the tolerance acquisition and thus of the food elimination diet. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 40 patients allergic to milk or egg who performed an OFC for the reintroduction of the causal food at the Pediatric Allergy and Respiratory Unit of the University of Chieti from January 2018 to December 2020. Results: We found a positive association of total serum IgE with the elimination diet duration ( Conclusion: Total serum IgE at baseline, along with the downward trend of food-specific IgE levels (to milk or egg), may be useful in the prognostication of natural tolerance acquisition.
