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

aimTo determine the effect of maternal egg consumption during lactation on the development of egg allergies in 12-month-old infants. We hypothesized that infants whose mothers consume larger amounts of eggs during the early lactation period acquire oral immune tolerance and are less likely to develop egg allergies at 12 months.

methodsThis study was a part of the Japan Pregnancy Eating and Activity Cohort Study. Mothers answered questionnaires on egg consumption, breastfeeding rates at 1 month, infants' eczema at 6 months, and the development of egg allergies among infants at 12 months. In order to assess the actual impact of maternal egg consumption on infants' egg allergy development, breastfeeding-dependent egg consumption was calculated at 1 month by multiplying maternal egg consumption at 1 month with the breastfeeding rates at the same time. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the potential risk and protective factors.

resultsData from 420 infants were analyzed, of whom 27 had egg allergies at 12 months. No significant impact of breastfeeding-dependent egg consumption was observed on infants' egg allergy development at 12 months. However, infants with eczema at 6 months showed a greater risk of developing an egg allergy at 12 months (adjusted odds ratio, 3.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.59-8.13).

conclusionThe results suggest that breastfeeding-dependent egg consumption at 1 month did not contribute to sufficient oral immune tolerance in 12-month-old infants. Eczema at 6 months significantly impacted the development of an egg allergy, emphasizing the importance of preventing cutaneous exposure to egg allergens.
