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 and vasomotor rhinitis are harassing numerous patients and their risk factors have not been well investigated. Here, we try to identify their risk factors and distinguish these 2 diseases.

methodsA two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was implemented to discover the risk factors of allergic and vasomotor rhinitis. Based on previous studies, we selected 15 potential risk factors and the genome-wide summary statistics were extracted from the non-FinnGen consortium. The genome-wide summary statistics of rhinitis were obtained from the FinnGen consortium. Both univariable MR and multivariable MR analyses were performed to identify the causal risk factors. The Cochrane's Q value was calculated to appraise the heterogeneity. MR-Egger intercept and MR-RPESSO were utilized to appraise the pleiotropy.

resultsIn the univariable model, the number of cigarettes per day can decrease the risk of allergic rhinitis (IVW OR = 0.29[0.18, 0.47], p-value = 2.70 × 10

conclusionSmoking can affect the risk of allergic and vasomotor rhinitis differently where it decreases the risk of allergic rhinitis and increases the risk of vasomotor rhinitis.
