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

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the molecular sensitization patterns of cats, dogs, and horses in patients with cat and/or dog sensitization and the IgE cross-reactivity with other furry animals. Methods: In 95 patients diagnosed with allergic diseases and sensitized to cats and/or dogs (confirmed by specific Immunoglobulin E (sIgE) ≥ 0.35 kU Results: Sensitization rates of crude extracts from other furry animals ranged from 16.8% to 49.5%. A strong positive correlation between cat and dog serum albumin (Fel d 2 and Can f 3) and rabbit epithelium, mouse epithelium, guinea pig epithelium and rat epithelium (rs: 0.66-0.87, all P < 0.05), while the lipocalin family (Fel d 4, Can f 1, Can f 2 and Equ c 1) only had a low to moderate correlation with the epithelial allergens of the above four animals (rs: 0.36-0.65, all P < 0.05). Simultaneous sensitization to SA and these four furry animal allergens accounted for 42.4%. sIgE levels of furry animal extracts were significantly higher in SA-positive groups (all P < 0.05) The results of the inhibition test showed that Fel d 2 and Can f 3 had high inhibition rates of four epithelial allergens, ranging from 66.5% to 91.8% and 75.8% to 91.9%, respectively. When lipocalin family components were used as inhibitors, the sIgE inhibition rates of these furry animal extracts were almost all lower than 50%. Conclusion: SA is the primary driver of cross-sensitization between cats, dogs, and other furry animals, rather than lipocalins.
