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

Wheat triggers a broad spectrum of allergic diseases, with prevalence varying across regions. In adults, it is the leading cause of food-induced anaphylaxis, most often as wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA), while occupational exposure causes baker's asthma. In children, wheat allergy manifests as immediate-type reactions, including anaphylaxis, and contributes to atopic dermatitis. Recently, wheat is known as one of key triggers of eosinophilic esophagitis across all age groups. Wheat proteins are classified into water/salt-soluble and -insoluble fractions, with distinct physiochemical profiles. Among insoluble proteins, ω-5 gliadin and high- and low-molecular weight glutenins are well recognized as major allergens in WDEIA. Conversely, both gluten proteins and water-salt soluble allergens, such as α-amylase inhibitors and lipid-transfer proteins, are key allergens in pediatric wheat allergy and baker's asthma. Accurate diagnosis requires component-resolved diagnostics (CRD), given the complex physicochemical properties of wheat proteins. However, conventional skin prick testing and some multiplex specific immunoglobulin E assays lack full CRD integration, likely underestimating true prevalence. Management primarily relies on avoidance, but strict elimination is difficult due to wheat's ubiquity. In WDEIA, cofactors such as exercise, alcohol, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs commonly precipitate reactions, with provoking doses varying widely, necessitating individualized strategies. Oral immunotherapy has been attempted for pediatric wheat allergy but demonstrated lower efficacy than for other foods, underscoring the need for patient-tailored strategies. Baker's asthma management focuses on work-place control, personal respiratory protective equipment, and pharmacotherapy. Overall, improved CRD-based diagnostics and novel therapeutic approaches are needed to enhance care for this diverse spectrum of wheat-related allergic diseases.
