Prevalence of self-reported food allergy among adults in Jiangxi, China.
Article in The World Allergy Organization journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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: Food allergy has become an increasingly important public health problem. However, information regarding epidemiological studies of food allergy among Chinese adults is very limited. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of self-reported food allergy among adults in China. Method: A population-based cross-sectional study was administered to estimate the prevalence of self-reported food allergy on the basis of a face-to-face questionnaire survey. The participants were recruited by cluster random sampling from three prefectures in Jiangxi Province, China. Results: A total of 12 082 questionnaires were distributed, and 11 935 (98.8%) of completed ones were collected. The prevalence of self-reported food allergy was 4.0% (3.1% in men and 4.8% in women), self-reported doctor-diagnosed food allergy accounted for 1.4%. The most common allergic symptom was skin reaction showing in 63.9% of the participants with self-reported food allergy. The main allergic foods were shrimp, mollusks, and mango, accounting for the prevalence of 39.8%, 20.8%, and 18.7%, respectively. The self-reported food allergy was significantly linked with gender, age group, body height and other allergic conditions. Conclusions: The prevalence of self-reported food allergy is about 4.0% among adults in China. The three most common allergenic foods were shrimp, mollusks and mango. Gender, age, and other allergic diseases could be contributing factors associated with food allergy in adults. These findings will provide scientific basis for the further research and prevention of food allergy in adults.
