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

purposeNitric oxide (NO) is an important endogenous mediator in both upper and lower respiratory systems. The purpose of the present study was to extract nasal NO (nNO) normal range of Chinese adults and the internal influencing factors. The differences in nNO levels between rhinitis and asymptomatic atopic subjects, and the diagnostic value of nNO in allergic rhinitis (AR) were further investigated.

methodsOne thousand adults were recruited from the general public. Participants were divided into different subgroups according to the questionnaires and skin prick tests. In all of these subjects, nNO, fractional exhaled NO (FeNO) and nasal airflow resistance were measured. The normal ranges of nNO and FeNO, the differences between subgroups, and the correlations between NO (nNO and FeNO) and other internal factors were analyzed.

resultsBoth nNO and FeNO levels were significantly higher in AR patients than in healthy and asymptomatic atopic subjects. The nNO levels were significantly lower in asymptomatic atopic subjects than in normal adults. FeNO levels were significantly higher in non-AR patients than in the healthy and asymptomatic atopic adults. The cutoff value of nNO for the diagnosis of AR was 117.5 ppb (sensitivity, 50.9%; specificity, 63.9%). The nNO levels were correlated with FeNO levels, total nasal resistance measured at 75Pa, nasal volume within 0-7 cm from the anterior nares (V

conclusionsThe nNO level can be significantly different between healthy and AR patients and may be significantly correlated with nasal symptoms and nasal patency of rhinitis patients. However, the clinical value of nNO is still in the exploration stage.
