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

backgroundBuckwheat allergy is common in East Asian countries with high buckwheat consumption. However, with increasing popularity of buckwheat as a gluten-free food, it is also expected to become more widespread in Europe. CASE REPORT: A health food store employee experienced anaphylaxis with urticaria, angioedema, and dyspnea after eating a slice of buckwheat bread. Prior to this reaction, the patient had repeatedly noticed rhinoconjunctival itching and sneezing when handling buckwheat. A positive skin prick test with buckwheat flour and elevated specific IgE levels to buckwheat confirmed the suspected diagnosis.

conclusionFood industry employees may develop sensitization to buckwheat through inhalation of buckwheat flour. This sensitization can lead to rhinoconjunctival symptoms upon airborne exposure and to anaphylaxis after ingestion.
