Latex anaphylaxis in healthcare worker and the occupational health management perspective: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Latex allergy is a critical occupational health problem in healthcare settings. Exposure to latex can lead to severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. However, in epidemiological studies, occupational anaphylaxis due to natural rubber latex is relatively rare. For this reason, allergic reactions from latex exposure in the workplace may not be well aware and, therefore, lead to delayed appropriate management. We reported a female physician who sought occupational health program counseling for her latex allergic reaction following occupational exposure and her two episodes of latex anaphylaxis during medical-surgical procedures. An occupational health management program (e.g. glove replacement and a bracelet with latex allergy labeling) was established. After the intervention, she rarely experienced any allergic symptoms. Given these points, anaphylaxis can be triggered by occupational exposure to latex; thus, occupational health management is key to preventing and managing latex allergies in the workplace.
