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

The diagnostic procedure to detect sensitization to bee or wasp venom should only be carried out if this results in a therapeutic consequence, i.e., allergen immunotherapy (AIT) against Hymenoptera venom (HG). The risk of a more severe reaction to another insect sting after a systemic allergic reaction is very low in children. Therefore, children who have only reacted with an intensified local reaction or generalized urticaria do not usually require AIT or an emergency kit. For children who show anaphylaxis that goes beyond urticaria, AIT and an emergency kit are indicated. The AIT for at least 3 years can significantly reduce the risk of another severe anaphylactic reaction. The chances of success of AIT are so good that in many cases the emergency kit can be dispensed with during the course of the reaction. Sting provocations for diagnostic purposes or to check the success of treatment are generally not indicated in children and adolescents.
