Enhanced Early Detection of Allergic Rhinitis: A Prospective Study on a Symptom-Based Predictive Model.

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: Allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis (NAR) share overlapping symptoms but differ in pathophysiology and treatment. Current AR diagnosis relies on skin prick testing (SPT) and serum IgE quantification, both of which are complex. This study aimed to develop a symptom-based model for early AR detection, explore allergen-symptom relationships, and evaluate its performance. Material and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at Wuhan Tongji Hospital between June 2024 and October 2024, enrolling 1150 patients with clinically suspected AR. Participants completed a visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaire evaluating nasal symptoms (itching, congestion, sneezing, rhinorrhea), ocular symptoms, and overall discomfort, and the final diagnosis of AR was confirmed by SPT. Patients were randomly divided into training and test cohorts (8:2). Logistic regression (LR), the classic artificial intelligence-machine learning algorithm, was used to build a prediction model after analyzing allergen-symptom associations, with evaluation of discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. Results: A total of 758 patients (65.9%) were confirmed AR cases, and showed more severe nasal/ocular symptoms than NAR. Dust mites were the most common allergen, correlated with animal dander ( Discussion: This study developed a symptom-based AR predictive model that outperformed clinician experience. Sneezing demonstrated the highest AUC value for prediction, and the multivariable LR model using nasal and ocular symptoms further improved accuracy. Conclusions: The findings support VAS-based screening as a practical, cost-effective tool for early AR detection, therapeutic interventions, and targeted patient education regarding allergen avoidance strategies, helping optimize AR management, minimizing diagnostic delays, and facilitating precision treatment decisions.
