Associations with food allergy-related psychological distress in a global sample of adults, children and caregivers.
Article in Clinical and translational allergy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveFood allergy (FA) impacts health-related quality of life and mental health. Understanding what variables are associated with psychological distress can help healthcare providers direct patients to appropriate support. As part of the study, Global Access to Psychological Services (GAPS) for FA and associations with FA-related psychological distress were explored in adults with FA and caregivers of children with FA.
methodsParticipants completed online surveys in seven languages. Participants reported the types of FA-related distress they or their child experienced, along with demographic and FA-related information. Associations with distress were analysed using regression models.
resultsN = 1329 adults with FA and N = 1373 caregivers of children with FA from 27 countries participated. Of the 21 different types of distress selected, anxiety about an allergic reaction was the most common (62.5% adults; 72.6% caregivers). Females reported significantly more types of distress than males (p < 0.001). There were significant differences between countries (all p < 0.05-0.001); participants in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom consistently reported more types of distress than European countries or the United States. In regression models, country of residence, number of FAs, and symptoms were significantly associated with distress. Additional associations included adrenaline autoinjector (AAI) prescription, being female, anaphylaxis and comorbidities in adults; in caregivers having a younger child, longer time elapsed since FA diagnosis, being female, AAI prescription and anaphylaxis; and in children being older and living longer with FA.
conclusionsFA-related distress is experienced differently across countries. Understanding associations with types of distress can help direct healthcare services and psychological support to where it is needed most.
