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

backgroundSelective allergy to eggs from specific avian species, while maintaining tolerance to hen's eggs, is rare and may present diagnostic challenges. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 75-year-old woman with no history of atopic disease who experienced episodes of anaphylaxis after consuming duck and goose eggs, while tolerating hen's eggs. Skin prick tests with commercial hen's egg extracts were negative. Serum testing revealed very low total IgE levels (5 kU/L) and low specific IgE to ovomucoid (Gal d 1), with negative results for other egg proteins. Prick-to-prick testing showed positive reactions to raw duck and goose egg white, whereas results were negative for cooked duck and goose eggs and for both raw and cooked hen's and quail eggs. An oral food challenge confirmed tolerance to hen's eggs.

conclusionThis case highlights a rare presentation of selective allergy to eggs from the Anseriformes order with preserved tolerance to hen's eggs. Comprehensive allergy evaluation - including skin testing, specific IgE measurement, and oral food challenges - may be essential to identify selective sensitizations and to provide appropriate dietary recommendations.
