Allergen sensitization patterns in children with allergic rhinitis: insights from a four-year retrospective study in Shenzhen, China.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo characterize allergen sensitization profiles in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) in Shenzhen, China, and assess the influence of demographic, seasonality, and comorbidities factors.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional study included 4,279 children diagnosed with AR between April 2020 and March 2024. Serum-specific IgE against 28 common allergens was measured by immunoblotting. Sensitization was defined as sIgE ≥ 0.35 IU/mL. Data were analyzed by age, sex, season, and comorbidities using chi-square tests (P < 0.05).
resultsSensitization to inhaled allergens (78.3%) was more prevalent than to food allergens (65.4%, P < 0.05). Dust mites (61.6%), dog dander (21.8%), and cat dander (11.4%) were the most common inhaled allergens, while milk (46.9%) and egg white (27.4%) were the leading food allergens. Sensitization to inhaled allergens increased with age, while food allergen sensitization decreased (P < 0.05). Boys exhibited higher rates of sensitization to certain allergens, and pronounced seasonal trends were observed, particularly for pollen and shellfish in summer. Children with digestive comorbidities showed broader sensitization across multiple allergens.
conclusionDistinct allergen sensitization patterns in Shenzhen children with AR highlight the need for region-specific diagnostic panels and integrated care, supporting more personalized management and future research directions.
