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

Purpose: Allergic diseases are a major global public health issue with a rising pediatric prevalence. This study explored the allergen sensitization profiles, cross-reactivity, and polysensitization patterns among pediatric patients with allergic diseases in Suzhou, China, to inform precision prevention and treatment. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 510 children aged 1-15 years suspected of having allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic rhinitis (AR), and allergic asthma (AS). Serum-specific IgE (sIgE) was measured for 12 aeroallergens and 14 food allergens. Component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) was performed for house dust mite (HDM)/Dust mite allergens in 120 patients. Results: Of the 510 children, 378 (74.12%) tested sIgE-positive. The mean age of the sIgE-positive patients was 7.03 ± 2.79 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.35:1. Among the sIgE-positive patients, 56.08% had AD, 87.83% had AR, and 29.37% had AS. Aeroallergen sensitization (90.48%) was significantly higher than food allergen sensitization (48.15%), with HDM being the most common aeroallergen (71.96%). CRD showed high positivity rates for Der p 1 and Der f 1 (both 95.83%) in 120 HDM/Dust mite-sensitized patients. Age significantly affected sensitization patterns: younger children had higher Egg and Cow's milk sensitization rates, while aeroallergen (including HDM, Dust mite, and Cat dander) sensitization increased significantly with age. Most allergens showed no gender-related differences. Polysensitization was common, with 65.34% (247/378) of patients being sensitized to three or more allergens. Significant cross-reactivity was observed between certain aeroallergens and food allergens, such as a strong correlation between Der p 10 and Shellfish (ρ = 0.88) and moderate correlations between Ragweed and Sesame/Peanut (ρ = 0.53, 0.48, respectively). Conclusion: In Suzhou, allergic children show high sIgE positivity and polysensitization rates. Allergen sensitization varies with age, highlighting the need for age-specific diagnostics and CRD for precision medicine. Extensive cross-reactivity exists between aeroallergens and food allergens.
