Increased Risk of Allergic Rhinitis Among Coal Mine Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2026. 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
Objective: Allergic rhinitis (AR) represents one of the most prevalent respiratory disorders. Mining workers face sustained occupational exposure to elevated airborne pollutant concentrations. However, environmental epidemiology data documenting AR prevalence among this workforce in mining-intensive regions remain limited. This study, which focuses on mining settings within northern China cities, examines the association between occupational air pollutant exposure and AR prevalence among coal miners. Methods: We implemented a cross-sectional survey to assess AR prevalence (self-report) and risk factors in mining workers within heavily industrialized Ordos city in northern China. A total of 538 mining workers were finally included. Subsequently, descriptive statistics characterized baseline distributions of demographic, clinical, and environmental covariates. Logistic regression modeling was employed: (a) crude association assessment via age- and sex-adjusted analysis; (b) confounder-adjusted multivariable regression to differentiate risk-enhancing and protective exposures influencing AR prevalence. Results: A total of 151 patients (28.07%) were identified with AR. Longer work duration of occupational exposure in mining settings conferred a significantly increased risk of AR [OR: 1.041(95% CI = 1.002-1.083), Conclusion: Chronic occupational exposure in coal mines was related to the risk of AR. This study revealed epidemiological evidence to improve AR management in mining occupational settings. Level of Evidence: 3.
