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

backgroundAllergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disorder. The diagnosis is based on the concordance between allergy sensitization and history. Serum allergen specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) assessment allows characterization of the relevant sensitizing allergens. Presently, Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) classification subdivides AR based on symptoms severity and duration. However, the relationship between sIgE levels and symptom severity is still a matter of debate.

objectiveTherefore, this study aimed at relating sIgE levels with symptom severity assessed by ARIA classification in a group of patients with AR.

methodsWe enrolled 217 patients with AR (123 women; median age, 39.5 years). The sIgE levels (expressed in kUA/L) to house-dust mite were detected by the fluorescence enzyme immunoassay in peripheral blood samples. The IgE calibrators were traceable to the second international reference preparation 75/502 of human serum IgE from the World Health Organization. Symptom severity was assessed by ARIA classification.

resultsWe found a significant difference in sIgE levels in patients with mild intermittent versus mild persistent symptoms (p < 0.05), mild intermittent versus moderate-to-severe persistent symptoms (p < 0.001), moderate-to-severe intermittent versus moderate-to-severe persistent symptoms (p < 0.01), and mild persistent versus moderate-to-severe persistent symptoms (p < 0.05).

conclusionAnalysis of these findings indicated that the sIgE level to house-dust mite might be a reliable biomarker for symptom severity in patients with AR. This outcome might be clinically relevant, particularly in candidates for immunotherapy.
