Effect of acupuncture on serum levels of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis related hormones and immune factors in rats with allergic rhinitis.
Article in Journal of traditional Chinese medicine = Chung i tsa chih ying wen pan, 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
objectiveTo explore the correlation between acupuncture treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulation by investigating changes in serum immune factors, HPA axis-associated hormone levels, activation levels of paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons, and the severity of nasal mucosal lesions, in rats with AR before and after acupuncture treatment.
methodsAfter establishing the AR rat model, ovalbumin was administered
resultsFollowing the intervention period, the behavioral scores for the blank control group were lower than those of other groups (
conclusionAcupuncture can alleviate AR symptoms and regulate serum inflammatory factor levels and HPA axis-related hormones in AR rats. Moreover, these effects are inhibited by glucocorticoid antagonists, suggesting that acupuncture may regulate AR symptoms through HPA axis regulation.
