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

Non-specific Lipid Transfer proteins (nsLTPs) are relevant allergens of several pollens and plant foods. Sensitization to nsLTPs is not typical in our region. Still, it has become an increasingly common cause of IgE-mediated food allergies and food-induced anaphylaxis in Northern Europe in recent decades. No in-depth studies describe the prevalence of sensitization of molecular components to nsLTPs in Lithuania. This study aimed to determine the sensitization profile of atopic patients at the Immunology and Allergy Department of Kauno Klinikos to the components of nsLTPs, using molecular allergen component analysis. Sixty Lithuanian adults with symptoms of allergic rhinitis and/or allergic asthma and/or food allergies were included into the study. Specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels were measured using two in vitro techniques: allergen extract and molecular component analysis. Results showed that 25% of subjects were sensitized to nsLTP-containing allergen sources, mostly to Zea m 14, Mal d 3, Vit v 1, and Art v 3. The median amount of total IgE was higher in nsLTP-sensitized patients than in nsLTP-nonsensitized patients. Based on Cohen's Kappa and McNemar tests, the results of allergen extract and component analysis tests do not always agree, especially when we determine the sensitization to allergen sources containing nsLTPs. Molecular allergen component analysis could be the first choice in determining detailed sensitization to nsLTPs in patients who experienced anaphylaxis of unknown origin.
