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

Background: To characterize patients with buckwheat allergy in China and to investigate the associations between clinical manifestations and different buckwheat IgE-binding proteins. Methods: Patients diagnosed with buckwheat allergy at the Department of Allergy, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, were followed up between 2023 and 2024 and retrospectively enrolled. Serum allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) levels were measured using the ImmunoCAP system, and buckwheat IgE-binding proteins were identified by immunoblotting. Results: A total of 46 patients with buckwheat allergy were included, with a mean age of 26 ± 11 years. 45 patients (97.8%) developed immediate allergic reactions after buckwheat ingestion. Anaphylaxis occurred in 33 patients (73.3%). Seventeen patients (37.0%) experienced respiratory allergic symptoms upon exposure to buckwheat husks. The median f11-sIgE level was 10.75 kUA/L (IQR, 3.01-20.38). Fifteen IgE-binding proteins with different molecular weights were identified, among which the 18-19 kDa protein showed the highest positivity rate (100%). The 14 kDa protein was detected more frequently in patients without anaphylaxis than in those with anaphylaxis induced by buckwheat consumption (25% vs 0%, Conclusion: Patients with buckwheat allergy may present with anaphylaxis, and respiratory symptoms upon exposure to buckwheat husks. Sensitization to the 22-24 kDa protein was associated with concomitant buckwheat husk allergy and higher f11-sIgE levels.
