Figure 1 Overview of study design and outcomes. Treatment began around 16 weeks before pollen season, throughout a pollen season, and continued 6 weeks after pollen season.
Figure 2 Efficacy and safety of Artemisia annua -SLIT in children. (A) Time series of daily combined score of CSMRS and pollen concentration [grey column: pollen counts; blue and black curves: CSMRS of SLIT and placebo groups, respectively]. The charts below represent the correlation between pollen concentration and daily CSMRS in SLIT group (left) and placebo group (right) [grey shaded area: 95% confidence level range]. CSMS (B) and CSMRS (C) compared between SLIT and placebo groups in the 2019 pollen season.*P <0.05. (D) Incidence of most frequently reported TRAEs in SLIT (>5% subjects) and placebo groups. (E) Severity of most frequently reported TRAEs in SLIT group. CSMS, combined score of medication and rhinitis symptom; CSMRS, combined score of medication and rhinoconjunctivitis symptom; SLIT, sublingual immunotherapy; TRAEs, treatment-related adverse events.
