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.
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
Latex allergy is an allergic reaction to natural rubber and may occur in the perioperative period. Between 2015 and 2021, patients at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine were screened for latex allergy before surgery using a standardized questionnaire. Patients suspected of having latex allergy underwent skin prick tests (SPTs), wearing tests, and measurement of serum-specific IgE antibody titers. The results of the medical questionnaires, skin tests, and IgE tests were subsequently analyzed. Overall, 467 patients were suspected of having latex allergy based on the questionnaire responses. SPTs and wearing tests were positive in 105 and 10 cases, respectively. Ten patients were diagnosed with latex allergies based on the wearing tests. Questionnaire data from patients diagnosed with latex allergy revealed 8 cases of allergic symptoms after fruit and vegetable intake, 7 associated with rubber product use, 2 of anaphylactic shock of unknown cause, and 2 of involving medical staff with atopic dermatitis. Among these patients, latex-specific IgE and Hev b 6.02-specific IgE antibody titers were measured in 10 and 6 cases, respectively. Latex-specific IgE antibody titers were classified as class ≥ 2 in 3 cases, whereas Hev b 6.02-specific IgE antibody titers reached class ≥ 2 in 1. No intraoperative cases of latex allergy were observed during the study period. These findings suggest latex allergy screening using a questionnaire in combination with diagnostic testing is a useful strategy.
