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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the current prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) among Korean children based on a 2022 nationwide survey and to analyze long-term trends from 1995 to 2022.

methodsA nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted in 2022, involving 12,558 children aged 6-13 years from randomly selected elementary and middle schools across Korea. The AR prevalence and risk factors were assessed using the modified International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Questionnaire. The data were compared with epidemiological surveys conducted in 1995, 2000, and 2010 to evaluate long-term trends.

resultsThe prevalence rates of AR symptoms during the last 12 months were 45.2%, 48.2%, and 47.8%, respectively, in children aged 6-7, 9-10, and 12-13 years, respectively. Among children aged 6-7 years, the prevalence of AR symptoms showed a long-term upward trend, rising from 29.9% in 1995 to 26.0% in 2000, 43.6% in 2010, and 45.2% in 2022 (

conclusionsThe prevalence of AR among Korean children has increased over the past few decades, highlighting the importance of continuous surveillance and preventive measures. Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as early-life exposure and environmental influences, is crucial for developing targeted intervention strategies.
