Relationship Between the Type of Allergen and Night Sweat in Allergic Children.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAtopic diseases can accompany allergic sensitization. The amount of allergen is as important to know since allergen exposure affects sensitization development. Some allergic children complain of intense sweating during the first few hours of transition to sleep especially at night. This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between the type of allergen to which children are sensitized and night sweating.
methodsChildren aged two to 18 years old with single allergic sensitization were included. A specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) skin prick test results were obtained from the medical records of the patients. Then, the patients' families were asked to evaluate the levels of sweating from 0 to 10 with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questionnaire and the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC).
resultsSensitization to mites was more prevalent in the group of patients with night sweating (p<0.001), and pollen allergy was more prevalent in the group of patients without night sweating (p<0.001). Conclusion: The amount of mites and wetness in bed sheets might be responsible for allergic sensitization. A change in clothes and bed sheets for those with intense sweating might ensure better sleep and reduce the severity of the atopic symptoms. Such a recommendation might provide a better clinical outcome in these patients.
