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

Cow milk allergy (CMA) is a prevalent disease in childhood. Natural history is usually favorable as CMA can disappear by school age in many subjects. Diagnosis corresponds to treatment, as an elimination diet is a solution. However, cow's milk (CM) is real food, hardly replaceable. Thus, CM reintroduction represents a demanding challenge in clinical practice. The induction of CM tolerance could be achievable using oral immunotherapy (OIT), such as the administration of increasing milk quantities until reaching tolerance. However, the OIT schedule and procedure need to be better standardized, and performance may vary widely. Therefore, the present study reports the practical experience of a third-level pediatric allergy center in managing children with CMA and submitting them to OIT. OFC and OIT are relatively safe procedures as the reaction rate is low. Almost two-thirds of the OIT subjects tolerated CM. Reactions were associated with high IgE levels. Therefore, the present experience, developed by a qualified center, may suggest and propose a practical approach for managing children with CMA. After the initial workup, including a thorough history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, OFC and, when indicated, OIT could be performed in most children with CMA.
