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

backgroundAllergen immunotherapy is the only disease-modifying treatment for IgE-mediated diseases for patients 5 years and over. The question is often asked why children receive the same doses as adults. There is not a single dose-finding study including children and/or adolescents. Moreover, randomized controlled trials that include all age groups but report effects separately are rare.

methodThis randomized trial investigated the safety and tolerability of an accelerated dose escalation schedule (One-Strength group) compared to the standard regimen (Standard group) when using a birch pollen SCIT allergoid in patients aged 5-65 years.

resultsOverall, 201 patients were randomized to the two regimens: 87 adults, 52 adolescents, 62 children. Three hundred eighty-two treatment-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs) occurred in 81 patients (40.5%). A higher proportion of patients in the One-Strength group (48.5%) experienced at least one ADR compared to those in the Standard group (32.0%). The majority of ADRs were local (93.3%), and the majority were of mild intensity (95.8%). 3 patients in the One-Strength and 1 patient in the Standard group developed a total of 9 systemic ADRs, which all were classified as WAO grade 1 or 2 and most of mild intensity. No event of WAO grade 3 or higher was reported. No serious ADR occurred. Overall, tolerability was assessed as "very good" or "good" by more than 96% of investigators and patients. Safety and tolerability were comparable in the three age groups.

conclusionBirch pollen SCIT was safe and well-tolerated when administered using a One-Strength dose-escalation regimen in patients aged 5-65 years.
