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

Objective: To observe the efficacy of Montelukast combined with sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in the treatment of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) complicated with allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods: This is a prospective study. A total of 102 children with OSAHS complicated with allergic rhinitis admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital from April 2020 to April 2021 were selected and randomly divided into two groups: sublingual group and two-drug combination group. Children in the sublingual group were treated with standardized dust mite drops Nos. 1-4 for SLIT, while those in the two-drug combination group were treated with Montelukast on top of the sublingual group. Statistical analysis and comparison were made between the two groups of children in terms of Sleep apnea hypopnea index (AHI), Hypoxic saturation (Lsao Results: After treatment, the AHI index of the two-drug combination group was significantly decreased, and the Lsao Conclusion: Montelukast combined with sublingual immunotherapy offers many advantages, such as effectively controlling nasal allergy symptoms in children with OSAHS complicated with allergic rhinitis and improving OSAHS symptoms.
