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: Airborne pollen is a major contributor to allergic diseases. This study investigates the correlation between airborne pollen dynamics and allergic rhinitis (AR) incidence in Xi'an (2020-2023) and compared with 1984 data for informing evidence-based prevention strategies. Methods: The species and concentration of daily pollen in Xi'an were monitored for 4 consecutive years (2020-2023). Daily pollen concentrations were analyzed alongside clinical AR records from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University and public health awareness metrics (Baidu search indices for "allergic rhinitis", "pollen allergy", and "loratadine"). Results: The pollen season in Xi'an occurred from March to May and from August to October, with higher concentrations in spring. Compared to the 1984 data, pollen counts increased significantly (+121.9%, P>0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between pollen concentration and the number of AR patients during the autumn pollen season from 2020 to 2022 (r=0.307~0.636, Conclusion: Pollen counts increased significantly in Xi'an, whereas pollen species diversity decreased in the last 40 years. Our results showed the 40-year characteristics comparison of pollen concentration in Xi'an can serve as a basis for developing effective preventive and management measures for patients with pollen-related allergies, including environmental control, timely pollen monitoring, desensitization therapy, and patient health education, to guide the scientific control and prevention of pollen-induced allergic diseases. This study underscores the need for integrated environmental and public health strategies to mitigate pollen-induced AR in rapidly urbanizing regions.
