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

aimsThis case series aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) in AR-diagnosed children with previous diagnosis of tic disorders/attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (TD/ADHD) but unresponsive to behavioral or medical treatment. MATERIALS AND

methodsBetween July 2016 and June 2021, children diagnosed with AR in our hospital were enrolled. All were diagnosed with TD/ADHD refractory to behavioral or medical treatment. The demography and clinical information were collected from medical records. The outcomes were visual analogue scale (VAS) for AR severity, Yale Comprehensive Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) for TD symptoms, and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Screening Scale (SNAP-IV) for ADHD symptoms.

resultsA total of 27 children (18 boys, 9 girls) were included, with a mean age 7.4 ± 2.9 years (3 - 17 years). They had undergone behavioral or medical treatment of TD/ADHD for 3.6 ± 1.9 years but without significant improvement in TD/ADHD symptoms. After 2-6 months of systematic treatment for AR, VAS was decreased to 0.4 ± 0.1 from 0.8 ± 0.2, YGTSS to 3.5 ± 0.7 from 6.8 ± 1.4, and SNAP-IV to 0.4 ± 0.1 from 0.6 ± 0.2 (all p < 0.001). No recurrence of TD/ADHD symptoms was reported during a mean follow-up of 2.4 ± 1.1 years (0.5 - 5 years).

conclusionAR treatment improves TD/ADHD outcomes in children with difficult-to-treat TD/ADHD. In TD/ADHD children who are unresponsive to behavioral or drug treatment and have AR-related symptoms, AR examination and treatment are recommended for better prognosis.
