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

Food allergy is an acute IgE-mediated reaction that occurs in response to food components and affects 1-10% of the global population. It is often thought to be a disease of the gastrointestinal tract, in which oral exposure to a food allergen induces an IgE-sensitizing response that primes the host immune system to react to the eliciting allergen following subsequent oral exposure. However, emerging evidence from clinical and basic research studies suggests that maladaptive immune responses in the skin also contribute to the development of food allergy. These responses can promote the development of food-specific IgE and reshape the gut immune microenvironment in a manner that predisposes to IgE-mediated activation of mast cells and clinical manifestations of allergic disease following subsequent food exposures. In this Review, we discuss how different routes of exposure to food antigens can contribute to allergic sensitization and describe how mast cells ultimately drive the allergic reaction to these food allergens.
