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
Childhood allergic rhinitis (AR) is a multifactorial condition arising from the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental exposures. Although protein phosphorylation is widely recognized as a key regulator of gene expression across various physiological and pathological states, its global alterations in the nasal mucosa of pediatric patients with AR and their subsequent impact on mucosal function and inflammatory pathways remain incompletely characterized. Our study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying nasal mucosa dysfunction induced by pediatric AR. Our analysis revealed 3,861 proteins encompassing a total of 15,491 phosphorylation sites. Specifically, we detected 441 downregulated phosphorylation sites on 584 proteins and 531 upregulated phosphorylation sites on 722 proteins in the nasal mucosa of the AR group. Our proteomics findings suggest that the dysregulation of immune activation and metabolic regulation may contribute to AR pathophysiology. Through pathway analysis of the identified phosphorylation sites, we found Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) signaling emerged as an important pathway; notably, upregulation of ERK1/2 phosphorylation was observed as a significant marker associated with AR. Importantly, targeting ERK inhibitors presents a potential therapeutic strategy for modulating key inflammatory response signaling pathways in the context of AR, although this finding is derived from preclinical mouse models and requires rigorous validation in human pediatric nasal mucosal tissues before any clinical translation can be considered. Collectively, these findings highlight that elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying AR-induced nasal mucosal dysfunction in the mouse model may inform the novel therapeutic targets for pediatric allergy-related diseases. Overall, elucidating these mechanisms has substantial implications for developing targeted interventions aimed at mitigating inflammation associated with allergic rhinitis.
