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

Sensitization to inhalant allergens is a major factor in the development of allergic diseases. Despite this, few studies have comprehensively analyzed age- and sex-specific patterns within defined populations. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and distribution of sensitization to inhalant allergens in different demographic groups of the Lithuanian population using molecular diagnostics. We retrospectively reviewed molecular allergy profiles of 658 patients tested with the ALEX2 macroarray between 2020 and 2022. Sensitization to inhalant allergen components was assessed and compared across three age groups (<18, 18-44, >44 years) and by sex. Sensitization to at least one inhalant allergen was observed in 62.16% of patients. Rates were significantly higher in males compared to females, particularly in the reproductive-age group (
