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: The skin prick test (SPT) is a standard method for identifying allergic sensitization. However, pain and needle phobia often compromise pediatric compliance. Microneedle devices offer a minimally invasive alternative to conventional lancets. Objective: We evaluated the agreement, diagnostic accuracy, and patient tolerability of a novel microneedle compared to a lancet for SPT. Methods: Subjects with allergic rhinitis underwent SPT using both devices with Results: Of 150 subjects (aged 8-60 years), 53.3% were sensitized to Conclusion: The microneedle demonstrates high diagnostic performance and good concordance with the standard lancet while significantly reducing pain, thus supporting its utility in pediatric and needle-averse populations.
