Diode laser treatment in therapy-resistant allergic rhinitis: impact on nasal obstruction and associated symptoms.
Trial report in Lasers in medical science, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
The ideal treatment in severe obstructive allergic rhinitis unresponsive to standard therapy is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of endonasal corrective laser surgery in perennial (pAR) and seasonal (sAR) allergic rhinitis. Forty subjects (20 pAR, 20 sAR) underwent videoendoscopic diode laser surgery. Examinations were performed preoperatively and at follow-ups 1, 12, and 24 months after surgery, including objective parameters (rhinomanometry, videoendoscopy, allergy tests) and subjective visual analog scales (evaluation of surgery, satisfaction, allergic symptoms). Of all patients, 95% received inferior turbinate, 40% septal, and 15% middle turbinate surgery. Postoperatively, two subjects showed considerable residual symptomatology (95% response rate). Throughout follow-up, objective rhinomanometry and subjective scores for nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, itching, and overall satisfaction improved significantly with time (p < 0.0005). The improvement was greatest for nasal obstruction, initially higher in pAR but more sustained in sAR. After 2 years, 30% sAR and 40% pAR subjects had been receiving pharmacotherapy due to recurrent symptoms. The allergic condition remained unchanged (skin and in-vitro tests). Outpatient endonasal diode laser surgery appears to be effective, safe and well tolerated for treating otherwise therapy-resistant pAR and sAR, providing long-lasting symptom reduction with complete stop or decreased use of antiallergics.
