Multidimensional characterization of allergic rhinitis in Mysuru, South India: A cluster-based approach.
Article in The journal of allergy and clinical immunology. Global, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) affects approximately 10% of Indian adults, but its clinical and biological heterogeneity remains poorly defined. Objective: We sought to characterize AR phenotypes in South Indian adults using clinical features, spirometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (Feno), skin prick tests, blood biomarkers, and cluster analysis. Methods: This was a prospective observational study of 122 patients (≥18 years old) with AR with or without asthma attending a South Indian tertiary allergy clinic and 50 asymptomatic nonatopic control subjects. Participants underwent standardized symptom/exposure assessments, spirometry, Feno, blood counts, serum IgE, and skin prick tests to 10 aeroallergens. Principal component analysis, correlation networks, and unsupervised k-means clustering were applied to define phenotypes. Results: Patients with AR were younger than control subjects, predominantly female, and frequently exposed to incense and mosquito repellents. Sensitization to house dust mite (>70%) and polysensitization were common. Compared with control subjects, patients with AR had elevated Feno (43 vs18 ppb; Conclusions: This study showed 3 distinct AR clusters with high dust mite sensitization alongside cosensitization with cockroach, weed, and Bermuda pollens. Multicenter studies are warranted to further refine AR clusters, including tissue-level biomarker profiling and relevance to pharmacotherapy and immunomodulatory therapies.
