Effects of inhaled corticosteroids on skin prick test reactivity and adrenal function: a pilot assessment of histamine response and cortisol biomarkers.
Article in Postepy dermatologii i alergologii, 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
Introduction: Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are the cornerstone of asthma and allergic rhinitis management, but concerns regarding their potential systemic effects, including suppression of skin reactivity and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. Aim: To evaluate the impact of ICS on skin prick test (SPT) results and endogenous cortisol levels in adults with allergic conditions. Material and methods: This pilot observational study included 24 adults with allergic conditions. Clinical data, ICS therapy parameters, SPT with histamine control, and salivary and serum cortisol levels were collected and analysed. Results: ICS use was not associated with significant alterations in histamine-induced skin reactivity. A borderline inverse correlation was observed between ICS duration and salivary cortisol levels ( Conclusions: ICS at standard doses do not appear to suppress skin reactivity on SPT, supporting their continued use during allergy evaluation. However, prolonged ICS use may lead to subtle HPA axis suppression, highlighting the utility of salivary cortisol as a noninvasive monitoring tool.
