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

backgroundPotential racial and ethnic disparities related to oral immunotherapy (OIT) have not been fully described among children with food allergy (FA).

objectiveTo characterize the differences in attitudes toward, familiarity with, and utilization of OIT among non-Hispanic White (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), and Hispanic or Latino (H/L) caregivers of children with FA.

methodsSurveys were administered to the caregivers of children enrolled in Food Allergy Outcomes Related to White and African American Racial Differences, a prospective, multisite cohort of children with FA. The distribution of responses by caregiver-reported race and ethnicity was described using an analysis of variance for continuous outcomes and χ

resultsThe NHB and H/L respondents were more frequently not familiar with OIT compared with NHW responders (54.3% and 62.5% vs 9.2%, P < .001). This finding remained true, even after adjusting for household income (odds ratio: 0.1, 95% CI: 0.1-0.4 for NHB participants and odds ratio: 0.1, 95% CI: 0.0-0.3 for H/L participants). NHB and H/L participants more frequently reported that they had never heard of OIT before the survey compared with NHW participants (76.7% and 50.0% vs 26.7%, P < .001). None of the NHB and H/L respondents initiated OIT compared with 14.8% of NHW participants (P < .001).

conclusionIn the Food Allergy Outcomes Related to White and African American Racial Differences cohort, familiarity with OIT was lower among caregivers of minoritized racial and ethnic groups, even after adjusting for household income.
