Allergic diseases and school bullying among children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study in China.
Observational study in European journal of pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Previous studies have suggested an association between certain allergic diseases and school bullying among children. However, there is still a lack of population-based evidence concerning any allergic disease, especially among East Asian populations. This observational study aimed to examine the association between childhood allergic diseases and school bullying. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 3114 students from primary and secondary schools in Longhua district, Shenzhen, China. Data on physician-diagnosed allergic disease and school bullying among children were collected via self-administered structured questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We further evaluated whether sex, body mass index (BMI), and household economic status modified the association between allergic disease and school bullying. A total of 989 cases of childhood allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis (13.8%), food allergies (7.8%), allergic rhinitis (18.5%), and asthma (1.2%), were identified. Logistic regression analysis revealed that children with allergies were more likely to experience bullying at school, both those with any allergic disease and those specifically diagnosed with atopic dermatitis, food allergies, or asthma. The associations between allergic diseases and school bullying among children and adolescents were independent of sex, BMI classification, and household economic status.
conclusionsThis study suggests a link between allergic diseases and exposure to school bullying among children and adolescents. These findings emphasise the importance of increasing awareness of the risk of school bullying among young people with allergic diseases. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Childhood allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis, food allergies, and asthma, are associated with an increased risk of school bullying. • Population-based evidence from East Asian populations is lacking regarding the association between these allergic diseases and bullying. WHAT IS NEW: • This large cross-sectional study of 3114 schoolchildren in Shenzhen, China, confirms that children with allergic diseases-particularly atopic dermatitis, food allergy, or asthma-are at increased risk of experiencing school bullying. • The results of this study further demonstrated that in this East Asian population, the link between childhood allergic diseases and school bullying remained consistent regardless of sex, BMI classification, or household economic status.
