Predictors of psychosocial burden in parents of children with food allergy.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe psychosocial burden of food allergy (FA) impacts the entire family, particularly the affected child and their parents.
objectiveTo evaluate psychosocial parental burden (PB) in families of children with FA, identify factors associated with PB, and assess its relationship with child-reported and parent-proxy food allergy quality of life (FAQOL).
methodsA total of 114 children aged 2 to 17 years with IgE-mediated FA and their parents (mothers = 86.5%) completed validated age-specific FAQOL and PB questionnaires. Associations between demographic and clinical variables and scores were analyzed.
resultsGreater PB was associated with more frequent and/or severe reactions, reactions to trace allergen exposures, multiple FAs, wheat or unbaked milk or egg allergy, and/or a history of oral food challenge (regardless of outcome). Strict allergen avoidance practices were associated with worse PB; a parent working in healthcare was associated with better PB. The age, sex, ethnicity, and/or race of the child had no significant association. The PB scores correlated with FAQOL scores in children younger than 13 years, but not in children aged 13 years and older. Where both parental-proxy FAQOL and self-reported child FAQOL forms were available (age 8-12 years), scores were similar for questions pertaining to allergen avoidance and dietary restrictions, but parents reported less emotional impact of FA on their children than the children themselves reported.
conclusionThe number and severity of reactions, the type and number of FA, parents in the medical profession, and avoidance practices are associated with impacts on PB. The psychosocial well-being of parents was correlated with that of their children until age 13 years, but not after. Parents may underestimate the emotional impact of FA on their older children.
