Evaluation of clinical and demographic features of childhood food allergy: A single-center experience.
Article in Northern clinics of Istanbul, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveCurrent evaluations of pediatric food allergies are very important, many studies have shown that the frequency of food allergies is increasing in the pediatric age group. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the epidemiology and clinical features to better understand the clinical effects of food allergy, to contribute to the literature on this subject, and to evaluate the data of our country.
methodsThe epidemiological and clinical data of patients with food allergies diagnosed at the Erciyes University Pediatric Allergy Outpatient Clinic between 2014 and 2019 were analyzed. The outcomes were analyzed by a statistical analyzing program and compared with the literature.
resultsAs a result of our retrospective evaluation, we found that the mean age of 854 patients who were diagnosed with food allergy was 21.2±30.7 months (min 0 months, max 16.5 years). 512 (60%) of our patients were female, and 342 (40%) were male. The most common complaint was rash at the rate of 75.2% and followed by itching 27.6%, angioedema 10.5%, bloody defecation 10.5%, wheezing 8.4%, vomiting 8.3%, diarrhea 6.7%, frequent bronchiolitis 6.6%, cough 6.2%, and shortness of breath 4.4%. It was shown that 32.2% of the patient had multiple food allergies and the highest sensitivity rates were 65.9% with egg allergies and 39.2% with milk. In the classification, it was found that 75.1% of the patients who were followed up with food allergy had IgE-mediated food allergy, and 24.9% had a non-IgE-mediated food allergy.
conclusionThe results of this study of a 5-year cross-sectional evaluation of the patients diagnosed with food allergy and followed up in our clinic may contribute to the growing body of literature on pediatric-age food allergy.
