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: Allergic diseases are some of the most common diseases worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted to elucidate the genetic factors of allergic diseases. However, no GWASs for allergen component sensitization have been performed. Objective: We sought to detect genetic variants associated with differences in immune responsiveness against allergen components. Methods: The participants of the present study were recruited from the Tokyo Children's Health, Illness, and Development study, and allergen component-specific IgE level at age 9 years was measured by means of allergen microarray immunoassays. We performed GWASs for allergen component sensitization against each allergen (single allergen component sensitization, number of allergen components analyzed, n = 31), as well as against allergen protein families (allergen protein group sensitization, number of protein groups analyzed, n = 16). Results: We performed GWAS on 564 participants of the Tokyo Children's Health, Illness, and Development study and found associations between Amb a 1 sensitization and the immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable gene on chromosome 14 and between Phl p 1 sensitization and the Conclusions: Our data provide the first demonstration of genetic risk for allergen component sensitization and show that this genetic risk is related to immune response genes including immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable gene and
