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

backgroundThe composition of venom extracts, cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCD) and the component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) are important fields of investigation. IgE-reactivity to CCD complicates the interpretation of IgE to Hymenoptera venoms, especially in patients with multiple-positivity. We analyzed the clinical importance of CRD and CCD-inhibition for selection of allergens for venom immunotherapy (VIT).

methodsIn 71 patients, we measured specific IgE (sIgE) to honeybee venom (HBV), wasp venom (WV), hornet venom (HV), CCD, and recombinant allergens: phospholipase A2 (rApi m 1), hyaluronidase (rApi m 2), icarapin (rApi m 10), antigen 5 (rVes v 5), and phospholipase A1 (Immunoblot). In 29/71 HBV/WV/HV/CCD-positive patients CCD-inhibition was performed. According to CRD and CCD-inhibition, we identified true sensitization and defined groups of multiple-positive patients who needed CCD-inhibition before starting VIT.

resultssIgE-rApi m 1, sIgE-rApi m 2, and sIgE-rApi m 10 were detected in 65.7%, 68.4%, and 58%, respectively. In HBV allergic patients, CRD sensitivity was 86.8%. In WV allergic patients, sensitivity of sIgE-rVes v 5 was 94%. True multiple-sensitization was found in 44.8% of HBV/WV/HV/CCD-positive patients after CCD-inhibition. Patients with multiple venom- and CCD-positivity had more frequent severe allergic reactions (p < 0.001). CCD-inhibition was helpful in HBV/WV/HV/CCD-positive patients who were negative to all tested recombinant honeybee allergens. Persistence of HBV-positivity after CCD-inhibition requires CRD to other honeybee recombinant allergens.

conclusionCRD, using a profile of five most important recombinant allergens and CCD, has a high sensitivity for the diagnosis of venom allergy, especially in patients positive to several venom extracts. CRD and CCD-inhibition are helpful to reveal the clinically relevant, true sensitization and improve the selection of venoms for long-lasting VIT.
