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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesHump reduction in the presence of short nasal bones can result in significant esthetic and/or functional problems in patients seeking rhinoplasty in the Middle East. The aims of this study were to determine the mean length of nasal bones, amount of nasal dorsum it forms in relation to the whole nose, and incidence of short nasal bones in the Middle Eastern population. DESIGN AND SETTINGS: A prospective study that has been carried out in a tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 154 patients (80 females and 74 males) who were scheduled for computed tomography scan for the paranasal sinuses were included in the study. The inclusion criteria were adults with no history of facial/nasal trauma, sinus space occupying lesions, or surgery.

resultsIn males, the mean clinical nasal bone length was 19.59 mm and the mean radiological nasal bone length was 24.96 mm. In females, the mean clinical nasal bone length was 18.17 mm and the mean radiological bone length was 22.82 mm.

conclusionThe bony vault represents 44.2% of the female nose and 44.3% of the male nose. In the present study, no patients displayed a short nasal bone that was less than one-third of the whole nasal length.
