Factors affecting adherence to intranasal treatment for allergic rhinitis: A qualitative study.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07270302 (Safety and Efficacy of Nebulized Nasal Steroids for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
Objective: To determine the facilitators of and barriers to adherence to use of intranasal pharmacotherapy (daily intranasal corticosteroids and/or antihistamine, and nasal saline irrigation [NSI]), for allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods: Patients were recruited from an academic tertiary care rhinology and allergy clinic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted after the initial visit and/or 4-6 weeks following treatment. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory, inductive approach to elucidate themes regarding patient adherence to AR treatment. Results: A total of 32 patients (12 male, 20 female; age 22-78) participated (seven at initial visit, seven at follow-up visit, and 18 at both). Memory triggers, such as linking nasal routine to existing daily activities or medications, were identified by patients as the most helpful strategy for adherence at initial and follow-up visits. Logistical obstacles related to NSI (messy, takes time, etc.) was the most common concept discussed at follow-up. Patients modified the regimen based on side effects experienced or perceived efficacy. Conclusions: Memory triggers help patients adhere to nasal routines. Logistical obstacles related to NSI can deter from use. Health care providers should address both concepts during patient counseling. Nudge-based interventions that incorporate these concepts may help improve adherence to AR treatment. Level of Evidence: 2.
