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: Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the most common food allergy in early childhood. Children with CMA require a precise and punctual diagnosis. Oral food challenge (OFC) is the gold-standard procedure for diagnosing allergies, but it is laborious and requires a particular setting. The aim of the study was to identify the cutoff value of serum allergen-specific IgE values able to predict a positive response to OFC. Methods: Children with suspected CMA performed OFC with cow's milk (CM) or derivatives. Total IgE and specific IgE to raw CM, Results: Seventy-two children performed OFC, and 30 (41.6%) had a positive response. The significant predictive factors were sensitization to raw CM extract ( Conclusions: This study allowed us to define a set of cutoff values for CM protein-specific IgE. However, these cutoffs should be interpreted not as a diagnostic tool for CMA but only predictive of response to OFC in a specific territory. Thus, the practical message may be that a value above the cutoff allows a good approximation to identify children to be started on OFC.
