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

objectives/hypothesisTo define long-term health-state utility outcomes in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). STUDY

designProspective, longitudinal, cohort study.

methodsThe short-form (SF)-12 survey was issued to the 168 patients who were enrolled in an initial study evaluating short-term utility outcomes following ESS. SF-12 responses were converted into SF-6D utility scores using the University of Sheffield algorithm. The primary outcome was mean overall long-term utility level following ESS. Secondary outcomes evaluated annual utility level following ESS and utility outcomes for different subgroups of patients with CRS.

resultsA total of 83 patients provided long-term health-state utility outcomes. The mean overall long-term utility level was 0.80 at a mean follow-up of 5.2 years after ESS. Compared to the baseline (0.67) and short-term follow-up (0.75) utility levels in this group, there was a significant improvement at the long-term period (P = .002). A total of 54% (45/83) of patients achieved long-term postoperative utility scores higher than the United States norm of 0.81. There was a significant improvement in utility scores for all subsequent years after ESS compared to preoperative responses (all P < .028). All subgroups of CRS received significant long-term utility improvements (all P < .001), and those undergoing revision ESS demonstrated continued improvement past the short-term postoperative period.

conclusionsThis study has demonstrated that patients with refractory CRS achieve stable mean long-term utility levels following ESS and often return to a health state comparable to US population norms.
