Article in Frontiers in allergy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent allergic disorder. Acupuncture has been widely utilized to alleviate allergic symptoms, and numerous studies have investigated its therapeutic effects on AR. However, due to the challenges associated with establishing appropriate placebo controls, few studies have directly compared acupuncture with sham acupuncture for AR treatment. This trial investigates the comparative effectiveness and tolerability of acupuncture vs. placebo needling for allergic rhinitis patients. Methods: This clinical trial features a stratified randomization scheme with 1:1 allocation, single-blind assessment, and a total sample size of 84 participants. After screening for inclusion, qualified subjects with perennial allergic rhinitis will be randomly allocated to treatment group(accepting acupuncture, Conclusion: The findings of this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in treating perennial allergic rhinitis through comprehensive assessment of symptom relief, time-effect relationships, quality of life improvements, and reduction in anti-allergic medication use. Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2400086227).
