Longitudinal improvement and stability of olfactory function in the evaluation of surgical management for chronic rhinosinusitis.
Observational study in International forum of allergy & rhinology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
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
backgroundAbnormal olfaction is common with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and associates with various measures of sinonasal inflammation. The Brief Smell Identification Test (BSIT) has demonstrated improvements in abnormal olfactory detection following endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), but olfaction remains understudied using this instrument. Discerning longitudinal, postoperative durability in olfaction is critical for patient counseling.
methodsAdult participants with medically recalcitrant CRS were prospectively enrolled into a multi-institutional cohort study and observed for 18 months after ESS. Olfaction was operationalized using BSIT scores collected at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months postoperatively and compared using repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA).
resultsA total of 122 participants met inclusion criteria and were recruited between March 2011 and February 2014. Improvement in mean BSIT scores at 6-month follow-up were reported for all participants (p = 0.014) with greatest improvement in subjects with nasal polyposis (p = 0.001). No differences in mean BSIT scores were found between 6 months and 18 months overall; however, subjects with comorbid asthma (F
conclusionPostoperative improvement in olfaction was reported 6 months after ESS using BSIT scores, with greatest improvements in patients undergoing polypectomy. Overall improvement persisted between 6 months and 18 months after ESS for most patient subgroups; however, dysosmia worsened after initial improvement in patients with asthma and nasal polyps, highlighting the need for further identification of prognostic factors associated with abnormal olfaction in CRS.
