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

purposeDespite the wide spectrum of pediatric rhinitis, endotyping of rhinitis based on type 2 inflammation and bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BHR) is lacking. This study aimed to investigate endotypes of pediatric rhinitis using cluster analysis.

methodsCluster analysis was performed on data from 241 children with rhinitis by using 12 variables reflecting clinical characteristics of skin prick, laboratory, and pulmonary function tests. After extracting clusters, between-cluster differences in clinical features, such as nasal symptom scores and asthma comorbidity, were assessed to investigate the association between the endotypes and clinical features.

resultsFour clusters were extracted by hierarchical cluster analysis. Cluster 1 (n = 32 [13.3%]) was the non-allergic rhinitis dominant cluster with low type 2 inflammation and the lowest rate of BHR. Patients in cluster 1 had the mildest nasal symptoms and no asthma comorbidity. Cluster 2 (n = 114 [47.3%]) was the largest cluster and exhibited intermediate type 2 inflammation and low BHR. Cluster 3 (n = 65 [27.0%]) showed high type 2 inflammation and intermediate BHR. However, the severity of nasal symptoms and asthma comorbidity in this cluster were comparable with those in cluster 2. Cluster 4 (n = 30 [12.4%]) revealed high type 2 inflammation and BHR with potential functional airway impairment. Additionally, cluster 4 displayed the most severe nasal symptoms and frequent asthma comorbidity.

conclusionsFour distinct endotypes of pediatric rhinitis based on allergen sensitization, type 2 inflammation, and BHR correlate to symptoms and asthma comorbidity. These endotypes may aid clinicians in understanding the wide spectrum of pediatric rhinitis.
