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

Background Allergic conditions, particularly food and environmental allergies, are increasingly recognized as important contributors to pediatric morbidity worldwide. However, data describing age-related and seasonal patterns of allergen sensitization in children from low- and middle-income countries remain limited. This retrospective, cross-sectional, laboratory-based study aimed to evaluate the frequency and seasonal variation of food and environmental allergen sensitization among children undergoing allergen-specific IgE testing. Methods A total of 2,796 pediatric patients (1,676 males and 1,120 females) under 18 years of age who underwent allergen-specific IgE testing between January 2013 and July 2023 were included. Participants were categorized into four age groups: <1, 2-5, 6-10, and 11-18 years. Six food allergens and eight environmental allergens were analyzed using the IMMULITE
