A Review of Recent Progress in the Mechanisms and Effectiveness of Acupuncture for Treating Allergic Rhinitis.
Review in International journal of general medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
This review aims to summarize and evaluate the latest clinical evidence and mechanistic studies regarding acupuncture for the treatment of allergic rhinitis AR. Compared with traditional medical treatment, acupuncture treatment of allergic rhinitis has fewer side effects and drug dependence, especially for those patients who do not respond well to medical treatment, acupuncture treatment has become a new hope. By analyzing results from RCTs, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, the significant effectiveness of acupuncture in improving AR symptoms is clarified. We explore the mechanisms of acupuncture in immune regulation, neural modulation, inflammation modulation, and microbiota modulation, and assess its clinical efficacy and safety. The results indicate that acupuncture significantly alleviates AR symptoms through multiple biological regulatory mechanisms. Future research should further standardize acupuncture treatment protocols and deepen mechanistic studies to optimize its clinical application.
