Vitamin D: A Modulator of Allergic Rhinitis.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Allergic rhinitis is a topic of concern among clinicians. Despite of being treated in form of oral medicines, nasal drops and sprays several patients come back with complaint of no relief. This necessitates to review and focus on etiology and to find some other treatment regimen. Established relation of serum vitamin D level and various allergic conditions attracts us to use it as a therapeutic agent for allergic rhinitis. It is a case-control observational study recruited 80 subjects with 40 cases and 40 controls. There was drop out of two subjects among cases. Cases were supplement with oral vitamin D (cholecalciferol-1000 IU OD) and controls received no treatment. Serum vitamin D level, Total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and total eosinophilic count (TEC) were calculated at 0, 1 and 3 months and compared. Pre-treatment average serum vitamin D level of cases was 20.15 + 10.26 ng/ml and of control was 27.94 + 13.38 ng/ml. The TNSS score of cases was 7.43 + 1.87 and of controls was 5.00 + 1.52. TEC of cases was 546.15 + 113.39 and of controls was 313.33 + 125.08. Post-treatment serum vitamin D level of cases was 38.05 + 14.62 and of controls was 27.43 + 12.76. TNSS of cases was 3.53 + 0.68 and 4.43 + 1.17 in control group, TEC of cases was 68.13 + 38.95 and of controls was 197.03 + 123.36. This study concludes that vitamin D acts as disease modulator in allergic rhinitis In case of allergic rhinitis with vitamin D deficiency its supplementation gives symptomatic relief and also lowers down the values of TNSS and TEC.
