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

Food allergies, food sensitivities, and adverse reactions to food represent common reasons for gastroenterology and allergy referral. The epidemiology of these disorders is changing; food allergies are more common than previously thought, and there is a heightened sense of awareness about food sensitivities. Symptoms do not always accurately predict the underlying pathophysiology nor distinguish the underlying etiology. This may lead to unnecessary testing, which is often unrewarding and expensive. Myths and misconceptions about food allergies and sensitivities are common and may lead to unwarranted treatment using untested therapies. Importantly, a missed diagnosis of a true food allergy can have serious consequences. This article discusses the differences between food allergies and sensitivities, including their epidemiology, underlying pathophysiology, key symptoms, and diagnostic criteria, as well as their treatment options.
