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 diseases affect 25% of the global population, yet current diagnostics like specific IgE (sIgE) and skin prick tests lack specificity. The basophil activation test (BAT) offers high specificity but requires methodological standardization. Objective: This study develops gating strategies and pre-analytical storage conditions to develop an analytically validated BAT protocol for Methods: Seventy-nine adults (Df-sensitized and controls) were enrolled. Basophil activation was assessed by CD63 expression following Results: The three-marker gating strategy (CD123 Conclusion: This study demonstrates that a three-marker gating strategy within a four-color BAT panel reduces costs while maintaining analytical equivalence to a four-marker gating reference. Stimulus-specific storage patterns support flexible processing for research applications, and BAT outcomes provide complementary functional information beyond IgE levels. Clinical utility requires prospective validation.
