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: The prevalence of hypersensitivity reactions to different allergens varies according to the population studied and is subject to environmental and lifestyle factors. Early and delayed hypersensitivity are diagnosed with skin prick test and patch test. Objective: This study aimed to identify the common environmental and chemical allergens sensitizing Yemeni allergic patients. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using registries of patients who attended Elaj Medical Center in Sana'a city, Yemen, from January 1 Results: The skin prick test was performed on sixty-five patients compared to twenty-two who were tested with a patch test. Most of the positive participants were male, aged between 18 and 40 years. The most frequent environmental allergens causing immediate hypersensitivity were Conclusion: Yemeni patients exhibited high sensitization to aeroallergens and chemical allergens. Females showed a higher propensity for polysensitization. The pattern of sensitization to environmental and chemical allergens in Yemen differs somewhat from neighboring Arab and Asian countries. Further multi-center studies are needed to support and establish a standard country-specific allergens panel for testing.
