Safety of MMR vaccination evaluated in children with food and gelatin allergy in Iran.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundVaccination is essential for building immunity across various populations, and governments consider it a cornerstone of public health. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of gelatin allergy among infants with food allergies who have received previous vaccinations and were referred to this center for Measles-Mumps-Rubella (M.M.R.) vaccine administration.
methodsThis study, conducted at the Immunology Children's Medical Center (CMC) Hospital in Tehran, Iran, aimed to explore the prevalence of gelatin allergy in infants with food allergies undergoing M.M.R vaccine injections. The cross-sectional study included children diagnosed with food allergies, confirmed by allergy specialists, and who provided consent. The methodology involved different tests based on the severity of food allergies. For children with mild food allergies, a gelatin prick test preceded MMR vaccination. Those with severe food allergies or a history of vaccine reactions underwent skin prick tests with various gelatins and the MMR vaccine. Positive results led to graded dose vaccinations. Data, including clinical questions, were recorded using a standard vaccination questionnaire.
resultsResults from 163 evaluated children (average age: 16.85 months) revealed that 8% were allergic to gelatin. Notably, all gelatin-allergic patients had a positive family history of atopia. A significant association existed between gelatin allergy and a positive intradermal vaccine test. No significant relationships were found with gender, age, food allergens, infant milk type, antihistamine use, blood history, or product use.
conclusionThe study concludes that a gelatin-free vaccine is preferable for allergic patients. In cases where such a vaccine isn't available, a skin test with the vaccine is recommended before full-dose administration. The findings emphasize the importance of considering family history and intradermal vaccine tests in managing gelatin allergies during vaccinations.
