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

Allergic rhinitis (AR) has long been viewed as a type 2 inflammatory disease driven by IgE, mast cells and eosinophils. However, this classic model does not explain all clinical variation. Some patients continue to experience nasal congestion, nasal hyperreactivity and symptoms triggered by non-specific stimuli despite antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids or allergen immunotherapy. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a potent vasodilatory neuropeptide mainly released by trigeminal sensory nerves, provides a plausible link between sensory activation, vascular responses, epithelial barrier function and immune-cell regulation. Here, we propose CGRP as a candidate neuroimmune amplifier in AR, while emphasizing that this concept remains a testable framework rather than an established causal pathway. The strongest AR-relevant evidence supports CGRP-mediated nasal vasodilation and obstruction. Evidence that CGRP directly amplifies human type 2 inflammation is more indirect and is partly extrapolated from airway, skin, gut and
