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

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) are the main forms of chronic rhinitis with distinct pathogenesis. Endotype analysis based on nasal mucosal immune markers may facilitate precision medicine. Objective: To compare inflammatory profiles and identify endotypes in AR and NAR through local immune marker detection and correlation analysis. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled chronic rhinitis patients (January 2023-June 2025) divided into three groups: AR group [ARG, n=40, positive skin prick test and/or serum specific IgE (sIgE)], NAR group (NARG, n=40, negative allergy tests), and control group (CG, n=20). Primary measures: nasal eosinophil (EOS) and neutrophil (NEU) counts, sIgE and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), Th2 cytokines, NEU-related mediators, and immune cell subsets. Results: ARG showed significantly higher EOS count, sIgE, ECP, interleukin-5 (IL-5), interleukin-13 (IL-13), and EOS% than NARG and CG. NARG exhibited significantly higher NEU count, interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and NEU% ( Conclusion: AR exhibits a Th2-dominant inflammatory network involving eosinophils, IgE, and Th2 cytokines rather than eosinophils alone, while NAR displays a NEU-mediated pattern with a subset showing eosinophilic activation. Multi-marker detection in nasal secretions effectively differentiates inflammatory endotypes in chronic rhinitis. Significance & innovation: This study identified a synergistic Th2 network in AR and a NEU-dominant pattern in NAR via nasal secretion analysis, providing evidence for endotype identification and precision therapy.
