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

Background: Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction. Although the risk factors/cofactors for anaphylaxis vary between countries and regions, limited information is available on these factors within the Japanese context. Therefore, we aimed to discern risk factors/cofactors associated with heightened anaphylaxis severity in Japanese adults. Methods: In total, 507 adult patients with anaphylaxis who visited our clinic (Tokyo, Japan) between January 2010 and June 2020 were included in the analysis. Data on patient backgrounds, clinical characteristics, and causative allergens were extracted from patients' medical records. We retrospectively analyzed information on patient background and clinical characteristics associated with an increased severity of anaphylaxis. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify background features and clinical characteristics that contribute to anaphylaxis severity. Results: Multivariate analysis revealed that age, smoking history, asthma, and alcohol consumption at the onset of anaphylaxis were significant risk factors contributing to the increased severity of anaphylaxis. Moreover, drug-induced anaphylaxis was associated with heightened severity than food, anisakis and other allergens. Conclusion: We successfully identified risk factors/cofactors contributing to the heightened severity of anaphylaxis among adults in Japan. Additionally, our findings suggest that alcohol consumption and smoking are related to anaphylaxis severity in adults. The insights derived from this study will assist in identifying more effective preventive measures and treatment strategies in clinical practice.
