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

A food reaction history is the basis of food allergy diagnoses. Several levels of food allergy diagnostic testing can confirm or refute the presence of food allergy. The choice of food allergy testing modality should be informed by the reaction history and determined by the testing goals. Testing modalities include skin-prick testing, in vitro specific immunoglobulin E testing, component-resolved testing, epitope threshold testing, and basophil activation testing. The goal of food allergy testing may be merely to confirm the diagnosis of food allergy or may be used to guide passive (avoidance) or active (allergen immunotherapy) management. The most appropriate diagnostic path should consider testing predictive value, the goal of the evaluation, patient and family food allergy anxiety, and cost. Peanut allergy testing provides an algorithm for testing pathways.
