Do Skin Prick Tests Predict Nasal Provocation Test Outcomes in Allergic Rhinitis Patients?
Article in International forum of allergy & rhinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundIn diagnosing allergic rhinitis (AR), conventional skin prick tests (SPTs) often fail to reflect allergen-induced nasal symptoms. Conversely, nasal provocation tests (NPTs) provide more definitive assessments but are less accessible. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between SPT and NPT outcomes to assess SPT's predictive reliability for NPT results.
methodsA retrospective review was performed on 106 patients who underwent simultaneous SPT and NPT for suspected perennial AR. The SPT was assessed by measuring the mean wheal diameter of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dp). The NPT was performed by administering 100 µL of a 1000 AU/mL Dp solution into both nostrils, with responses assessed by changes in the five AR-related symptoms (total nasal symptom score, TNSS) at 15 min. Correlation and linear regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the relationship between SPT and NPT outcomes.
resultsTNSS changes at 15 min following intranasal Dp challenge showed a significant, moderately positive correlation with SPT Dp wheal diameter for all 106 subjects (ρ = 0.640, p < 0.001). In patients positive for both SPT and NPT (n = 24, ρ = 0.510, p = 0.011) and those with monosensitization (n = 30, ρ = 0.644, p < 0.001), a stronger and significant correlation was observed compared to the polysensitized group (n = 35, ρ = 0.372, p = 0.028), while no significant correlation was noted in patients negative for either test. Linear regression confirmed a significant linear relationship (R
conclusionSignificant correlations and linear associations between SPT and NPT outcomes support SPT's predictive capability for NPT responses.
