Epidemiology and allergen sensitisation in patients undergoing prick testing.
Article in The World Allergy Organization journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Epidemiological data on allergen sensitisation in Costa Rica are limited, while prevalence of allergic diseases in the world is rising. This study aims to determine the epidemiology and patterns of allergen sensitisation in patients who underwent prick testing. Methods: A retrospective descriptive-observational study was conducted, including 1001 patients aged >12 years undergoing prick testing between 2019 and 2021. Descriptive statistics were used to collect data on demographics, aeroallergens and food sensitisation. Results: The study population had a mean age of 35.9 ± 16.3 years and was predominantly female. Most patients were from San José, with chronic rhinitis being the most common pre-test diagnosis. Mites ( Conclusion: The results underline the high prevalence of allergen sensitisation in patients with allergic diseases in Costa Rica, especially in urban areas, and highlight the importance of allergen identification for effective management and prevention.
