Prevalence and aeroallergen sensitization in pediatric Allergic Rhinitis: A population-based study in Jeju, Korea.

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
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent chronic disease among children, influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Understanding regional aeroallergen sensitization patterns is essential for targeted intervention. This study investigates the prevalence of AR and its associated aeroallergen sensitization among schoolchildren in Jeju, Korea. A cross-sectional, population-based study was conducted in 2016 on 1,067 schoolchildren aged 9-16 years. Data were collected using the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire and skin prick tests for 18 common aeroallergens. Statistical analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression to determine risk factors for AR. The prevalence of AR was 29.0%, with the highest sensitization rates observed for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (76.5%), Dermatophagoides farinae (60.9%), and Japanese cedar pollen (39.1%). Sensitization to multiple aeroallergens (polysensitivity) was significantly associated with increased AR risk (OR 1.58, 95% CI: 1.017-2.455, p = 0.042). Age-related variations in sensitization patterns were noted, with younger children showing higher overall sensitization rates. This study provides evidence of region-specific allergen sensitization patterns in pediatric AR. The high prevalence of Japanese cedar pollen sensitization highlights the need for further investigation into environmental exposure and potential preventive measures.
