Association of fever and infections with the subsequent risk of atopic diseases in children with genetic susceptibility for T1D: Results from the TEDDY cohort study.

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
backgroundThe increased prevalence of atopic diseases may be due to lifestyle changes affecting our exposure to microbes. We investigated the association between infections, fever, and atopic diseases in a large international birth cohort setting.
methods3842 children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes were followed prospectively for the first 10 years for the occurrence of infections and atopic diseases within The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. A time-discrete survival analysis was carried out to evaluate the association of self-reported febrile and non-febrile infections (respiratory, gastrointestinal, other, fever alone) and the risk of subsequent atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and allergies.
resultsThe rate of respiratory infections was positively associated with the subsequent risk of asthma (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.25-1.35, p < .001). Febrile respiratory infections increased the risk of asthma more than non-febrile ones (febrile respiratory infection HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.42-1.59, p < .001; non-febrile respiratory infection HR 1.24, 95% CI 1.18-1.30, p < .001). In contrast, fever decreased the positive association of infections with the risk of other atopic diseases. Episodes of fever as the only reported symptom had a negative association particularly with the risk of atopic eczema (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.39-0.71, p < .001).
conclusionsIn a longitudinal cohort study, fever shows a clear impact on how infections associate with subsequent atopic diseases. Understanding the modifying role of fever on risk offers new possibilities to explore the mechanisms that mediate the effect of infections in the atopic process.
