Effect of azelastine hydrochloride combined with montelukast sodium in the treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis.

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
objectiveTo investigate efficacy of azelastine hydrochloride combined with montelukast sodium in the treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis.
methodsA total of 137 patients with allergic rhinitis in our hospital were divided into two groups, 70 patients in the experimental group received azelastine hydrochloride combined with montelukast sodium treatment, while 67 patients in the control group were given only azelastine hydrochloride treatment. The clinical therapeutic effect, clinical symptom score and serum levels of inflammatory factors were recorded.
resultsThe clinical therapeutic effect of the two groups after treatment were improved compared to those without intervention (P < 0.05), and the total effective rate of the experimental group was 94.3% (66/70), which was higher than that of the control group (83.6%). The clinical symptom score (nasal itching, nasal congestion and runny nose) of two groups was decreased after receiving the intervention, and the scores in the experimental group were much lower than the control group after receiving the intervention (P < 0.05). The serum levels of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8 and hsCRP) were obviously lower in the two groups after treatment, and those levels in the experimental group were much lower than the control group after receiving the intervention. Furthermore, after the receiving treatment, the levels of each of the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors in the experimental group were significantly ameliorated compared to those in the control group (P < 0.05).
conclusionAzelastine hydrochloride combined with montelukast sodium can effectively improve clinical symptoms and inflammatory reactions in patients with allergic rhinitis; furthermore, this research provides ideas for clinical practice.
