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 localize quantitatively the major biochemical constituents of native adult human septal cartilage across whole septa. STUDY

designProspective, basic science.

methodsThe nasal septa from seven cadavers were partitioned into 24 separate regions: six from caudal to cephalic and four from dorsal to ventral. Biochemical assays were used to determine the quantities, relative to wet weight, of the major constituents of cartilage: chondrocytes, collagen, and sulfated glycosaminoglycan.

resultsOn average, each milligram of wet cartilage contained 24,900 cells, 73.9 μg collagen, and 17.1 μg sulfated glycosaminoglycan. Cell number showed no significant variation across the septa. In contrast, the caudal regions of the septa were associated with higher levels of collagen, the ventral regions correlated with higher levels of sulfated glycosaminoglycan, and the dorsal regions were associated with an elevated ratio of collagen to sulfated glycosaminoglycan.

conclusionsThis study represents the first characterization of the biochemical composition of native human septal cartilage across whole septa. Quantities of collagen and sulfated glycosaminoglycan showed region-specific variation across the septum. The localized pattern of collagen and sulfated glycosaminoglycan deposition are consistent with the significance of preserving the L-strut during rhinoplasty and other nasal reconstructive procedures. In addition, it may assist in defining design goals for tissue-engineered septal neocartilage constructs to meet specific reconstructive needs in the future.
