1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 common chronic inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa, driven by IgE-mediated immune responses to inhaled allergens. Despite the widespread use of antihistamines, steroids, and allergen immunotherapy, many patients continue to experience significant symptom burden, prompting interest in complementary therapies. Recent insights into the gut-lung axis and the immunoregulatory role of the intestinal microbiota have drawn attention to probiotics as a potential adjunct in AR management. This narrative review synthesizes current evidence on the therapeutic utility of two extensively studied probiotic genera,
