Desensitization reduces some COVID-19-associated symptoms in minors with allergic rhinitis.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 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
objectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the symptoms following COVID-19 infection among pediatric and adult allergic rhinitis (AR) patients undergoing different treatment regimens—specifically sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) versus conventional pharmacological treatment.
methodsA total of 398 patients diagnosed with AR were included from the clinical database and categorized according to treatment type: an SLIT group (AR-S), further stratified into AR-S1 (< 18 years) and AR-S2 (≥ 18 years), and a control group (AR-C). Between December 2022 and February 2023, data on respiratory and general symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection were collected and compared across groups.
resultsThe AR-S1 group may be associated with a reduced risk of symptoms after infection including dry throat (OR = 0.373, 95%Cl:0.184–0.755), headache (OR = 0.385, 95%Cl:0.196–0.758), fatigue (OR = 0.376, 95%Cl:0.188–0.751), chest tightness (OR = 0.160, 95%Cl:0.049–0.522), and some symptoms after improvement of infection (cough, fatigue).
conclusionMinor AR patients with SLIT can reduce some of the symptoms in COVID-19-infected patients.
