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

objectiveTo determine the prevalence of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) in children with allergic disease, characterize the allergic symptom burden in children with PNE, and identify clinical phenotype differences between allergic and nonallergic enuretic children.

methods300 children aged 5-18 years were enrolled in three groups: a specialist-confirmed allergic disease cohort (Group 1, n = 100), a nephrologist-confirmed PNE cohort (Group 2, n = 100), and a general pediatric comparison group (Group 3, n = 100). Clinical phenotype was systematically compared between allergic enuretic children and enuretic children from the comparison group. Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) classification severity classification was applied in children with allergic rhinitis as a pre-specified exploratory analysis.

resultsPNE prevalence was 1.7-fold higher in allergic children than in the comparison group (27.0% vs 16.0%; OR: 1.94, 95% CI 0.97-3.88, p = 0.060). Allergic enuretic children showed a phenotypically distinct profile: shorter enuresis duration (2.0 vs 3.0 years, p = 0.028), higher nocturnal sleep disturbance (36.0% vs. 6.7%, p = 0.060), and lower rates of stress-related exacerbation (34.6% vs. 75.0%, p = 0.025) compared with enuretic children from the comparison group. ISAAC-based screening in the PNE cohort revealed a substantial allergic symptom burden: wheezing in 45.0%, inhaler use in 33.0%, and allergic rhinitis symptoms in 22.0%. An exploratory monotonic gradient in PNE prevalence was observed across ARIA severity categories (ARIA-1: 12.5%, ARIA-2: 25.0%, ARIA-3: 33.3%; p = 0.172).

conclusionsAllergic enuretic children display a distinct sleep-associated clinical phenotype, and a notable allergic symptom burden is present in children with PNE. These findings support asking about nocturnal enuresis in allergic children and considering allergy-focused evaluation in selected PNE patients in general pediatric practice.
