Exploring the Relationship between Allergic Rhinitis and Constitution Based on the "Traditional Chinese Medicine Constitution Theory".
Review in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 (AR) is a prevalent allergic disease affecting individuals of all ages, especially children and adolescents. Patients with AR develop a specific immunoglobulin E antibody response to allergens, including pollen, mold, dust mites, and animal dander. The main symptoms of AR patients include nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and nasal itching. Symptoms such as these can interfere with the patient's sleep and quality of life when they become severe. Moreover, AR contributes too many complications, can exacerbate asthma, and has a negative impact on productivity and social costs. Therefore, the current review focuses on how to treat AR effectively. This review discusses the correlation between AR and constitution from the perspective of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Constitution Theory in light of increasing research on AR in TCM. The constitution is adjustable, and adjusting the patient's biased constitution can improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease. TCM constitution is critical in AR pathogenesis, and both are closely linked. TCM constitution theory can be applied to treat AR with positive effects, which merits popularization and application, and provides a new approach to the treatment of AR.
