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.

Abstract

introductionSo-Cheong-Ryong-Tang (SCRT) is a herbal medicine widely used in traditional medicine for treating allergic rhinitis (AR). In animal studies, SCRT has suppressed the progression of AR. The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the SCRT for the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR) and discover the underlying mechanisms resulting in anti-inflammatory effects in humans. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will conduct a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicentre trial of Korean adults with PAR. For the study, 156 subjects with PAR will be recruited. The trial will consist of a 4-week oral administration of SCRT or placebo with two visits at 2-week intervals and an 8-week follow-up period with two visits at 4-week intervals. The primary outcome is a change in the total nasal symptoms score. The secondary outcomes include changes in the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire score, total serum IgE and cytokines levels. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at each research centre (name of each centres and approval numbers): Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong (KHNMC-OH-IRB 2015-04-009), Kyung Hee University Medical Centre (KOMCIRB-160321-HRBR-011), Pusan National University Hospital (2016-004), Dongguk University Medical Centre (2016-03) and Semyung University hospital (2016-01). This result will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03009136; Pre-results.
