Poor growth in multi-ethnic children with food allergy in Amsterdam.

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
backgroundGrowth faltering is commonly reported in children with food allergy (FA), potentially due to nutrient deficiencies and/ or underlying pathophysiology.
aimsTo study growth in Dutch food-allergic children, focusing on Height-for-Age Z-scores (HAZ), Weight-for-Age Z-scores (WAZ), and BMI (Body Mass Index)-for-Age Z-scores (BAZ) and identify predictive factors for growth.
methodsWe conducted a mono-centre study in 114 children, aged 0.5-18 years from diverse ethnic backgrounds, diagnosed with FA at OLVG Hospital (2021-2022). Data were collected from medical records and interviews. Z-scores were calculated using Growth Analyzer and WHO software and compared to the Dutch growth references and WHO growth standards, using one proportion Z-tests. Predictive factors for growth were identified using multivariable linear regression analyses. Retrospectively collected growth trajectories of 89 children were analyzed using linear mixed models.
resultsWhen using Dutch growth references in this cohort (median age 31.16 months), stunting (HAZ <-2) was observed in 6.1% (p = .03) where 2.5% was expected. HAZ and WAZ <-1 were found in 28.1% (p < .01) and 29.2% (p < .01), respectively, where 15.9% was expected. Compared to the Dutch growth references, WHO growth standards more frequently identify adequate growth. Having asthma and non-IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) was associated with a lower WAZ and BMI. HAZ deteriorated from 5 to 11 months onwards, stabilizing around age three.
conclusionsChildren with FA, particularly those with asthma and non-IgE-mediated CMA, had lower Z-scores for BMI and weight as compared to Dutch growth references. Length gradually deteriorated from 5 to 11 months onwards, which stabilized around age three.
