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

backgroundThe impact of asthma on the severity of rhinitis when children with allergic rhinitis (AR) are exposed to air pollutants has not been studied.

methodsChildren with AR (65 with asthma, 208 without asthma), aged 6-13 years, were recruited from a hospital in Taichung, Taiwan, between 2007 and 2011. Correlations between Pediatric-Rhinoconjunctivitis-Quality-of-Life score, nasal peak expiratory flow, and air pollutants were compared. With the same age, research time, and form the same city, children with AR (660 with asthma, 3174 without asthma) were selected from a database. Correlations between clinical visit times for AR and air pollutants were compared.

resultsIn male children with AR and asthma, both clinical and database studies revealed a correlation between higher rhinitis discomfort (quality-of-life score), higher visit times for AR, and higher PM

conclusionIn children with AR, comorbid asthma was associated with increased rhinitis severity when they were exposed to air pollutants, and the association was only noted in males. Increased nasal obstruction/inflammation from exposure to air pollutants may be the mechanisms underlying this association. IMPACT STATEMENT: The influence of asthma on the severity of rhinitis when children with allergic rhinitis (AR) are exposed to air pollutants has not been studied. In children with AR, the correlation between higher rhinitis discomfort, higher number of clinical visits for AR, and higher PM
