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/

objectiveNon-IgE-mediated food allergies (non-IgE-FAs) are increasingly recognized in infancy as causes of delayed gastrointestinal symptoms, nutritional compromise, and impaired growth. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate longitudinal growth outcomes in children with non-IgE-FAs managed with different dietary interventions and to explore phenotype-specific differences and clinical correlations.

methodsChildren diagnosed with non-IgE-FAs at the Pediatric Clinic Unit of Salesi Hospital (Ancona, Italy) between July 2022 and June 2025 were included. Anthropometric, clinical, and laboratory data were collected at baseline (T0) and follow-up visits at 6, 12, and 18 months. Weight-, length-, and BMI-for-age z-scores were calculated using Growth Calculator 4.0. Longitudinal growth trends were assessed through individual linear regression slopes, and dietary intervention effects were evaluated with ANOVA models.

resultsThirty-seven children were included (57% male), 95% of whom were diagnosed with CMA. Slope analyses demonstrated significant positive trends for BMI z-scores (median 0.340, IQR -0.171 to 1.130;

conclusionDietary management in children with non-IgE-FAs was associated with improved growth trajectories, particularly in BMI-for-age z-scores. Children with FPE showed a less favorable BMI trajectory than those with FPIAP. Although the choice of dietary strategy did not significantly affect growth outcomes in this cohort, individualized nutritional assessment and judicious use of elimination diets remain essential. Larger prospective studies are needed to refine phenotype-specific nutritional strategies and optimize long-term outcomes.
