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

backgroundThe aim of our research was to explore the distribution characteristics of the most common food and inhalant allergens in children from Foshan city in Southwest China to provide evidence for the development of prevention and treatment strategies for allergic diseases in children.

methodsA total of 635 children who attended the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, South China University of Technology, were included in our retrospective study from February 2013 to October 2019. The sensitivity of immunoglobulin E (IgE) for 20 allergens (10 inhalant allergens and 10 food allergens) was determined. Statistical analysis was performed to analyze differences in the percentage of allergens among individuals according to sex, age and season.

resultsOf the 635 patients, 200 tested positive for allergies. Dust mites were the most common inhalant allergens, followed by dog hair. The highest percentage of positive house dust mite sensitization was in the summer. Among the food allergens, individuals most frequently tested positive for wheat and milk allergies. The percentage of individuals with milk and egg allergies decreased with increasing age.

conclusionThe most common allergens found in children from Foshan were dust mites, dog hair, wheat, tree nuts (hazelnut and pistachio), milk and peanuts. The results obtained could be helpful in determining the etiology of allergic diseases.
