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

Wegener's granulomatosis, Sarcoidosis, Sjögren's Syndrome, Behçet disease, Systemic lupus erythematosus, relapsing polychondritis, Churg-Strauss syndrome and Cogan syndromes are rheumatic diseases commonly encountered by otolaryngologists. The present study was designed to assess the understanding and practice about various ENT problems of rheumatic diseases amongst otolaryngologists. A group of 29 otolaryngologists was asked to fill questionnaire which was based on knowledge and practice of otolaryngologists about various otolaryngologic manifestations of rheumatic diseases. Chronic sinusitis was most frequently seen followed by recurrent oral ulcers while spontaneous septal perforation was most infrequently seen symptom by participants. Otolaryngologists showed high index of suspicion and confidence for Wegener's granulomatosis in comparison to other rheumatic diseases. There was no difference noted in practice of otolaryngologists of tertiary care centers and other practitioners. Eighty two percent of participants felt, they were not adequately trained about these diseases. Most of them (93 %) felt that knowledge of such diseases is also necessary for post graduate training in Otolaryngology. Though otolaryngologists are aware of otolaryngologic manifestations of Rheumatic diseases but their index of suspicion, practical implication of knowledge and confidence for evaluation of such diseases is low. Educational sector should define a better medical curriculum for training in Otorhinolaryngology, head and neck surgery.
