Bibliometric analysis of the association between air pollution and allergic rhinitis.
Article in Global health action, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAllergic rhinitis (AR) is an increasingly prominent global public health issue, where air pollution significantly contributes to its rising incidence. Although numerous studies have explored the link between air pollution and AR pathogenesis, comprehensive summaries are still limited.
objectiveThis study performs a bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots and emerging trends, offering insights into AR prevention and management.
methodsLiterature related to on air pollution and AR was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Visualization tools, including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix R, were utilized to analyze contributions by countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords, with the aim of predicting future research trends.
resultsA total of 4,020 authors, 1,368 institutions, and 75 countries contributed to 753 publications. The United States leads in research contributions, while China has shown rapid growth since 2012. Prominent authors include Deng Qihong and Lu Chan have made significant contributions. Keyword analysis revealed five major clusters: Asthma and Allergic Diseases, Environmental Factors, Climate Change and Exposures, Epidemiology and Risk Factors, and Population-Specific Research. Key topics covered include atopy, childhood asthma, climate change, pollution exposure, and air pollutants.
conclusionThis first bibliometric analysis of air pollution and AR highlights a strong link between air pollution and AR pathogenesis. Enhanced environmental controls and air quality monitoring are essential for AR prevention. However, the complex composition of air pollutants presents challenges in elucidating specific mechanisms.
