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

backgroundOccupational contact urticaria (OCU) and protein contact dermatitis (PCD) may co-exist with occupational asthma (OA) and occupational rhinitis (OR) and be caused by the same allergen. These diseases are commonly caused by immediate (immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated) allergic sensitisation. Limited data exist on the prevalence and causes of concomitant occupational skin and airway diseases (CSAD).

objectivesTo analyse data from the Finnish Register of Occupational Diseases (FROD) for prevalence, main causes, and at-risk occupations for concomitant occupational skin and airway diseases.

methodsData on recognised cases of OCU, PCD, OA and OR in the years 2005-2020 (n = 2413) were retrieved from FROD and analysed.

resultsAmong OCU/PCD cases, 27% had OA, OR, or both. Conversely, 10% of OA cases and 14% of OR cases had OCU/PCD. Concomitant diseases were most common in farming, animal care, and food-related jobs. Shared causative exposures were identified in 89% of cases, with cow dander, wheat flour, and chemicals being the most frequent.

conclusionsConcomitant occupational skin and airway diseases caused by shared work-related allergens are relatively common. When evaluating patients with occupational immediate allergy, both skin and airway symptoms should be considered.
