Triamcinolone Impregnated Nasal Pack in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Our Experience.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The selection of an effective packing method to prevent postoperative complications and recurrence following Endoscopic Sinus Surgery remains ambiguous at present. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Triamcinolone impregnated nasal pack in Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, in the prevention of postoperative crusting, edema, infection and recurrence. This study was an interventional randomized placebo-controlled study, conducted at a tertiary care centre in South India between February 2015 and May 2016, after getting approval from Institute Ethical Committee. 75 patients with bilateral chronic rhinosinusitis undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery were selected for the study. After surgery, each patient was randomized to receive Polyvinyl Acetal (Merocel) nasal pack soaked with Triamcinolone to one side, while the contralateral side was packed with Merocel soaked with saline. Incidence of postoperative crusting, edema, polypoidal change and mucosal discharge was evaluated using the Endoscopic Staging System at 1st and 2nd weeks and at 1st and 3rd months of surgery. A significant reduction in mucosal edema was observed in the test group at all stages of follow up (
