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

backgroundChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous disease with clinical manifestations that are influenced by the presence or absence of nasal polyposis. Understanding of the current and future treatment modalities for CRS is essential in preventing exacerbation and morbidity associated with this chronic condition.

objectiveThe aim of this article is to review the evidence behind current medical therapies and potential new treatments for CRS.

methodsScientific literature regarding intranasal and systemic antibiotics, intranasal systemic corticosteroids, and monoclonal antibodies as interventions for CRS with and without nasal polyps was reviewed.

resultsThe literature supports the use of topical or systemic glucocorticoids in patients with nasal polyps, and there appears to be a role for systemic antibiotics in the treatment of acute exacerbations of CRS with nasal polyps. The response to corticosteroids or antibiotics in the treatment of exacerbations of CRS without nasal polyps is variable. Due to the lack of appropriately designed trials, there is weak evidence for the adjunctive use of immunotherapy at this time. Monoclonal antibodies that target Immunoglobulin E and T helper cell 2 cytokines have been clinically effective in symptom reduction for some patients with CRS with nasal polyps although further studies are needed.

conclusionCurrent therapies used in the treatment of CRS are discussed.
