Diagnosis and management of acute rhinosinusitis in children.
Article in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Rhinosinusitis is a common disease in children that is often overlooked. The clinical symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis are nasal blockage or congestion, nasal discharge or postnasal drip (often mucopurulent), facial pain, headache, and reduction in/loss of smell. Direct vision by nasal fibroendoscopy may aid the diagnosis. Regarding imaging criteria, recent consensus documents state that plain sinus x-rays are of limited utility, and CT remains the technique of choice, particularly in children with complications or very persistent or recurrent infections that are unresponsive to medical management. Antibiotics are the primary form of medical treatment for acute bacterial rhinosinusitis, but they should be used when acute bacterial rhinosinusitis presents as persistent or severe disease. This will minimize the number of children with uncomplicated viral upper respiratory tract infections who are treated with antimicrobials. Topical corticosteroids may reduce nasal edema and improve ostial drainage and ventilation of the sinus.
