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: The prevalence of allergic sensitization and allergic diseases has increased for decades in Northern Europe, but recent studies are lacking. Objective: We sought to study the prevalence trends of allergic sensitization, associated risk factors, and the association with asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) among children in Northern Sweden. Methods: Three cohorts of children aged 7 to 8 years participated in a skin prick test (SPT) with 10 airborne allergens in 1996, 2006, and 2017, with 2148, 1693, and 1762 participants tested, respectively, representing 87% to 90% of schoolchildren in the catchment communities. Adjusted Poisson regression was used to identify risk factors for allergic sensitization and the association with asthma and AR. Results: The prevalence of any positive SPT response increased from 21% in 1996 to 30% in 2006 and remained at 30% in 2017 ( Conclusions: The prevalence of allergic sensitization increased from 1996 to 2006 but plateaued in the next decade, whereas the risk factor pattern remained stable. The diverging trends of associations between allergic sensitization and asthma and AR suggest secular trends in the clinical management of allergic diseases.
