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

backgroundThe prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) in children is increasing worldwide, driving the growing demand for diagnostic biomarkers to improve clinical practice. Peripheral blood inflammatory indices, as easily accessible and measurable parameters, may offer valuable insights into AR. This study aimed to evaluate the association between peripheral blood inflammatory indices and AR in children.

methodsWe analyzed peripheral blood inflammatory indices in 1,028 children diagnosed with or without AR from Guangdong Women and Children Hospital. Logistic regression and spearman correlation analysis were employed to investigate the association between these indices and AR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess these indices in predicting AR.

resultsThe Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) values were significantly higher in AR group. The highest quartile of SII was associated with an increased risk of AR (odds ratio (OR) = 4.86) compared to the lowest quartile. In AR children, SII was positively correlated with IgE (r = 0.324, p = 0.002). The IgE × SII index showed the greatest AUC in predicting high-SII/low-EOS AR subtype (AUC: 0.953).

conclusionsSII was positively associated with IgE in AR children, and the IgE × SII index demonstrated strong predictive value for AR with low eosinophils count. IMPACT: SII is elevated in children with AR. SII is positively correlated with IgE but not EOS or %EOS in AR children. The combined index SII × IgE exhibited an improved predictive value for high-inflammation/high-atopic AR.
