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

objectiveAnaphylaxis is a life-threatening reaction in every age groups. The causative factors, incidence, and severity of anaphylaxis differ between children and adults. Literature on anaphylaxis during childhood is insufficient. We believe that the data of this study will make important contributions to the literature.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients aged 0-18 years who were admitted to the Pediatric Allergy Outpatient Clinic at Erciyes University between 2015 and 2021 and diagnosed with anaphylaxis.

resultsThe majority of the patients were male. Females, however, exhibited greater prevalence during adolescence (p<0.001). Of the total number of patients, 153 (86.9%) had atopy, whereas 25.56% had non-allergic chronic diseases. Food-induced anaphylaxis was identified in 49 (27.84%) patients, drug-induced anaphylaxis in 41 (23.29%), venom-induced anaphylaxis in 62 (35.22%) and idiopathic anaphylaxis in 19. The study observed that anaphylaxis affected several systems, including the skin/mucosa (91.47%), respiratory (72.15%), GI (40.34%), cardiovascular system (20.45%), and central nervous system (17.04%). It was also found that drug-induced anaphylaxis increased the severity of symptoms (p=0.003). Additionally, it was statistically significant that antibiotic-induced anaphylaxis (p=0.002) and wasp sting-induced anaphylaxis (p=0.003) developed within the first minute. Patients received intramuscular adrenaline in 95.46% of cases, while 4.54% did not receive appropriate treatment.

conclusionAnaphylaxis is a completely reversible reaction when diagnosed correctly and treated promptly. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the common triggers, know the risk factors, and provide patients with appropriate treatment. We believe that this study will contribute to better recognition of deficiencies in the management of anaphylaxis by highlighting important information for anaphylaxis.
