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.

Abstract

Background: Asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) can coexist and cause disabilities. This study aimed to assess the association between AR, asthma control, asthma-related quality of life, and other comorbidities. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in adults with asthma in six hospitals in Thailand. The outcomes were association of asthma control assessed by the asthma control test (ACT), AR, and asthma comorbidities. Not-well-controlled asthma was defined as ACT scores ≤22. The severity of AR was determined by visual analog scale (VAS). Severe AR was defined as VAS ≥5. Asthma-related quality of life (AQLQ), comorbidities, and total IgE were recorded. Results: A total of 682 asthmatic patients were included. Median (IQR) age was 58.0 (47.0-64.0) years. 69.9% were female. Not-well-controlled asthma was present in 44.7%. The prevalence of AR was 86.1%. Moderate/severe persistent AR was diagnosed in 21.7% and severe AR was diagnosed in 30.2% of the patients. Inhaled corticosteroid-containing regimens were prescribed in 97.7% of patients. Intranasal corticosteroid and antihistamine were prescribed in 65.7 and 31.7%, respectively. Patients with not-well-controlled asthma had higher body mass index, VAS scores, proportions of pollution exposure, aeroallergen sensitization, severe AR, nasal polyp, urticaria, food allergy, gastroesophageal reflux disease, depression and anxiety, peptic ulcer, and asthma exacerbations, but younger age, lower AQLQ scores, and lower FEV Conclusion: Allergic rhinitis is prevalent in Thai asthmatic patients. AR severity is associated with asthma control, quality of life, and pulmonary function. Comprehensive care is essential for patients with uncontrolled asthma, particularly when coexisting with conditions.
