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

backgroundThe 2014 estimates of prevalence of food allergy (FA) in Europe published by the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology included only the eight so-called big foods (cow's milk/egg/wheat/soy/peanut/tree nuts/fish/shellfish). Those estimates have recently been updated. Complementing this, we sought to identify and estimate the prevalence of allergy to other foods that have been reported during the last decade.

methodsSix databases were searched for studies published 2012-2021. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed to derive pooled prevalence of allergy to each food.

resultsTwenty-seven studies were included, containing a total of 66 FAs. Among the most frequently reported FAs, the lifetime and point prevalence range of self-reported kiwi allergy was 0.1%-1.0% and 0.2%-8.1%, respectively, while the food challenge (FC)-verified kiwi allergy point prevalence range was 0.01%-0.10%. The point prevalence range for self-reported peach allergy was 0.2%-3.2%, while the range for FC-verified peach allergy was 0.02%-0.05%. The lifetime and point prevalence range for self-reported tomato allergy was 0.01%-1.8% and 0.2%-2.1%, respectively.

conclusionAllergy to some foods traditionally not considered important are now emerging as relevant FAs. The focus on FA in Europe should not be limited to the so-called eight big FA, but extended to other types of foods which need to be considered both for clinical purposes and population risk assessment.
