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/

objectivesQuantification of diamine oxidase (DAO) concentrations in serum has been proposed as an adjunctive diagnostic modality for the evaluation of histamine intolerance (HIT). Limited empirical data exist concerning the influence of dietary patterns on DAO levels. SUBJECTS/

methodsIn the context of a prospective study employing a crossover design, 18 individuals diagnosed with HIT were randomized to initiate either a low histamine diet (LHD) or a conventional mixed diet (MXD). Serum DAO concentrations were measured at the commencement of the study and following each dietary phase. A control group underwent analogous DAO assessments without imposition of dietary constraints.

resultsDuring the time when a diet restricted in histamine was implemented, noticeable differences in changes in DAO levels did not become apparent when compared to the changes observed during the mixed (MXD) phase. Specifically, among the group, 10 of the 18 patients exhibited elevated DAO values subsequent to the LHD regimen, while the remaining eight displayed either reduced or unchanging DAO levels. The prevalence of elevated DAO levels in the LHD group did not differ significantly from that observed in the control group during the MXD phase. Additionally, during the LHD phase, patients reported a significant reduction in gastrointestinal and cutaneous symptoms.

conclusionsThis prospective investigation underscores the enduring utility of a histamine-restricted diet, coupled with structured dietary reintroduction, as an efficacious diagnostic approach for individuals presenting with suspected food-related histamine hypersensitivity. Notably, the measurement of DAO levels appears to furnish only a limited capacity to discern dietary-induced fluctuations. Notwithstanding, the dynamics of DAO alteration do not appear to exhibit a discernible association with specific dietary patterns, a finding consistent across both patient and control groups.
