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

purposeAnatomically, the eyes and paranasal sinuses are neighboring structures and some studies have mentioned eye disease in conjunction with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). However, to the best of our knowledge, no prior research has investigated the risk of developing open-angle glaucoma (OAG) among CRS patients. This study aims to provide an estimated risk of developing OAG among patients with CRS by using a population-based data set in Taiwan.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study used data sourced from the 'Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000'. A total of 15,642 CRS patients were included in the study cohort and 46,926 subjects were randomly extracted as a comparison cohort. A cox proportional-hazards regression analysis was performed to calculate the 5-year risk of subsequently developing OAG following a diagnosis of CRS between the study cohort and the comparison cohort.

resultsThe incidence rate of developing OAG over the 5-year follow-up period was 5.45 (95% CI: 4.95-5.98) per 1000 person-years for the study cohort and 2.80 (95% CI: 2.60-3.03) per 1000 person-years for the comparison cohort. After censoring the cases that died over the 5-year period and adjusting for the factors of monthly income, geographic region, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and hypothyroidism the hazard ratio for developing OAG over the 5-year period for subjects with CRS to subjects without CRS was 1.73 (95% CI: 1.53-1.96).

conclusionWe found that those subjects with CRS had a significantly higher risk of developing OAG over the 5-year follow-up period as compared with subjects without CRS.
