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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean versions of the Child- and Parent-Rated Scale of Food Allergy Anxiety (K-SOFAA-C and K-SOFAA-P) and the Food Allergy Anxiety Scale for Children (K-FAAS-C). Additionally, we sought to identify factors associated with high levels of food allergy (FA)-related anxiety in Korean children and their parents.

methodsWe enrolled patients aged 6-18 years with FA and their parents. The original English versions of the SOFAA-C, SOFAA-P, and FAAS-C were translated into Korean. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's α coefficients. Convergent validity was evaluated by examining the correlations between each questionnaire and the Korean version of the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (K-FAQLQ) as well as generic anxiety scales. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with high anxiety.

resultsThe K-SOFAA-C, K-FAAS-C, and K-SOFAA-P demonstrated excellent internal consistency, with Cronbach's α values exceeding 0.80. Total scores of the K-SOFAA-C, K-FAAS-C, and K-SOFAA-P showed significant positive correlations with age-appropriate K-FAQLQ scores (

conclusionsThe K-SOFAA-C, K-FAAS-C, and K-SOFAA-P are reliable and valid instruments for assessing FA-related anxiety in Korean children and their parents. These tools may facilitate clinical assessment and management by identifying individuals at high risk of FA-related anxiety, particularly those with respiratory symptoms or living in non-metropolitan areas.
