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

objectiveTo explore the links of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), and occupational physical activity (OPA) with allergic rhinitis (AR) and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in a nationally representative sample of the Korean population.

methods10,346 participants aged 40-60 years old were obtained from the KNHANES 2014-2018 database. Physical activity levels were assessed using questions adapted from the Korean version of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Participants were categorized as having high or low LTPA or OPA. AR and CRS statuses were determined based on participants' medical histories. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to uncover the associations between AR/CRS and LTPA/OPA. Subgroup analysis was performed considering various clinical characteristics.

resultsThe multivariate regression analysis revealed high OPA as a risk factor for AR in middle-aged adults (odds ratio [OR] = 1.474, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.130, 1.924), especially among males (OR = 1.665, 95% CI: 1.147, 2.417), individuals with BMI ≥ 25 (OR = 1.717, 95% CI: 1.124, 2.623), blue-collar workers (OR = 1.686, 95% CI: 1.074, 2.642), and green-collar workers (OR = 4.178, 95% CI: 1.642, 11.319). However, no notable correlation was revealed between LTPA and AR prevalence (P > 0.5), nor between OPA or LTPA and CRS prevalence (P > 0.5).

conclusionsLTPA and OPA exhibit different links with AR, suggesting that high levels of OPA in AR individuals should be addressed. However, neither LTPA nor OPA shows a significant correlation with CRS.
