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

backgroundClinical trials (CTs) have shown that allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is effective for local allergic rhinitis (LAR) while treatment is ongoing. However, its long-term effects remain unknown. This study investigates the long-term clinical and preventive effect of AIT in responder LAR patients.

methodsLAR patients obtaining a clinical benefit from 1-year CT of subcutaneous AIT were enrolled in this 10-year follow-up study (AIT cohort). All completed a full 3-year AIT course and were followed for additional 7 years. A matched group of LAR patients who did not receive AIT (non-AIT cohort) was followed over the same period. Primary outcomes included nasal-ocular symptom scores (visual analogue scale, VAS), reliever medication use and medication-free days (MFD). Secondary outcomes were asthma incidence, asthma control (asthma control test, ACT), lung function (FEV

resultsSixty-six patients were included (AIT n = 32; non-AIT n = 34). The AIT cohort showed a sustained reduction in nasal-ocular symptoms from year 1 (p < 0.001) and significantly more MFD from year 3 (p < 0.001). Asthma developed in 40.7% of non-AIT vs. 8.0% of AIT patients (p = 0.021). New sensitizations occurred in 38.2% of non-AIT and 6.3% of AIT patients (p = 0.002). FEV

conclusionAIT induces a sustained clinical improvement and prevents the onset of asthma and local sensitizations in responder LAR patients.
