Immunoblotting Analysis of Fruit Proteins in Mexican Pediatric Patients Suggests the Existence of New Allergens.
Article in Diseases (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
backgroundFood allergies are chronic diseases that compromise quality of life and can be potentially fatal due to anaphylaxis. The WHO estimates a 1-11% global prevalence, which has been increasing in recent years. They are considered, along with obesity, to be the two noninfectious pandemics. The WHO databases (WHO/IUIS) contain 403 food allergens, most of which have been reported from North America (Canada and the USA), Europe, and Asia, while reports of allergens from Latin America are scarce. Allergies have population and geographical specificities; therefore, identifying the main clinically relevant food allergens and potential new, undescribed components affecting Latin America is essential. This work aims to contribute to this field.
methodswe gathered data from 16 allergic Mexican pediatric patients to fruits from the Rosaceae (pear and peach) and Musaceae (banana) families, as well as an allergic adult to Lauraceae (avocado). These fruits are prevalent allergens in Latin America.
resultsthe data suggest that patients reacted to 20 different allergenic proteins reported in different allergen databases. Furthermore, we identified 16 previously unreported immunoreactive proteins, suggesting their potential role as new allergens.
conclusionthis preliminary work is particularly relevant, as it can influence the specific diagnosis of allergens most frequently affecting the pediatric population.
