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

purposeCow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy in childhood. Oral immunotherapy (OIT) has proven effective in achieving tolerance in children with persistent CMPA (pCMPA), although the underlying immunological mechanisms that allow for tolerance remain incompletely understood. We aimed to characterize the immune profile of pCMPA children following successful OIT and compare it to healthy controls (HC).

methodsThirty pCMPA children and 33 HC were recruited. T and B cell populations were assessed by flow cytometry, and specific immunoglobulins (sIgs) to milk allergens were measured by fluorometric enzyme-immunoassay.

resultsCompared to HC, pCMPA children showed reduced B cells and activated T cells. Activated CD4

conclusionsOIT modulates immune activation in pCMPA, reducing sIgE and increasing sIgG4 levels. Different relations between distinct sIgs and immune parameters may denote different stimulating and tolerance-inducing capacities for distinct cow's milk components. Age and time since OIT completion influence immune recovery, highlighting the complexity of tolerance mechanisms.
