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

objectivesTo estimate the prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR), atopic dermatitis (AD), and wheezing, and to describe their patterns of co-occurrence according to different characteristics in adolescence and early adulthood.

methodsCross-sectional analyses from the 15-year and 22-year follow-ups of the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort. The outcomes were assessed based on self-reported data, and the patterns of co-occurrence were determined using cluster analysis. The sample was described using absolute and relative frequencies according to the independent variables. Venn diagrams were generated to visualize the co-occurrence of AR, AD, and wheezing.

resultsData on AR, AD, and wheezing were available for 4,286 participants at 15 years and 3,789 at 22 years. At 15 years, AR was reported by 20.9% of participants, AD by 25.2%, and wheezing by 33.4%. Meanwhile, at 22 years, AR was reported by 24.6%, AD by 14.2%, and wheezing by 30.7%. Notably, the overlap between AR and wheezing was greater than that of the other conditions (6.9% at 15 years and 8.3% at 22 years). Participants with lower maternal education and lower income were more likely to report having "no health condition". At 15 years, White individuals most frequently reported "three conditions" (4.1%; p<0.001), whereas at 22 years, they primarily reported "two conditions" (15.6%; p<0.001). The co-occurrence of all three health conditions was found to be greater than expected, with an observed rate 2.1 times higher (95% CI 1.4 - 3.0) at 22 years.

conclusionsThis study highlights the social gradient in the diagnosis and reporting of co-occurrence of AR, AD, and wheezing.
