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.

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.

Abstract

Background: The rising prevalence of allergic conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergies is complex. The dual allergen exposure hypothesis suggests that allergen exposure through skin, particularly in those with AD, can lead to sensitization. This may be exacerbated by skin massage which can enhance allergen absorption by opening the cutaneous appendages. The TRANS-FOODS project aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying transcutaneous peanut allergy sensitization and evaluate novel preventative strategies, including alterations in peanut processing and adapting skincare practices. As part of the project, a randomized controlled study at King's College London has been set up to investigate whether skin massage facilitates transcutaneous uptake of peanut allergens, particularly in individuals with AD, and whether a barrier-enhancing cream can mitigate this effect. Methods: We report the study protocol for a single-site, observer blind randomized controlled trial, where healthy adults and adults with AD ( Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this study will be the first to use a skin massage intervention with a peanut protein-containing solution and a novel ISF extraction device to understand the effects of massage on the immune system and explore the biological signals associated with food sensitization. Protocol registration: The trials are registered on ISRCTN (ISRCTN12492694) and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05407012).
