Retrospective evaluation of pediatric anaphylaxis cases according to WAO and NIAID/FAAN/EAACI criteria: A single center experience.
Article in The World Allergy Organization journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Background: Anaphylaxis is an emergency that must be correctly recognized and treated by every health care professional. With the update of the World Allergy Organization (WAO) criteria in 2020, differences between the European Academy of Allergy and Immunology (EAACI)/The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) and WAO criteria have come to the fore. Objective: The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of these 2 criteria in diagnosing anaphylaxis in pediatric patients. Methods: Patients aged 0-18 years who applied to Ankara Bilkent City Hospital Pediatric Immunology and Allergy Clinic between September 1, 2020 and September 1, 2023 due to systemic allergic reaction and were diagnosed with anaphylaxis were evaluated retrospectively. The clinical findings of the patients were re-evaluated accordingto WAO 2020 and NIAID/FAAN/EAACI criteria. Results: Included in the study were 492 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Median age was 3.8 years (IQR: 0.9-11.4). The majority of patients were male (59.6%). There were 466 patients (94.1%) diagnosed with anaphylaxis according to both NIAID/FAAN/EAACI and WAO criteria. Three patients (0.6%) with isolated laryngeal involvement and 23 (4.7%) patients with isolated respiratory findings (bronchospasm) were diagnosed only according to WAO Criterion 2, for a total of 26 patients (5.3%). Conclusion: Although the majority of patients were diagnosed with both criteria, 5.3% were diagnosed only according to the WAO criteria. After contact with a suspected or known allergen, the presence of isolated respiratory or laryngeal findings without skin findings should be a warning before anaphylaxis progresses to more serious stages.
