Radiographic Changes of the Nasal Septal Body Among Patients With Sinonasal Diseases.
Article in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study aims to determine the anatomical changes occurring in the nasal septal body (NSB) among patients with sinonasal disease and compares the measurements obtained from patients without sinonasal disease.
methodsThis was a retrospective study involving review of 405 (93 without and 212 with sinonasal disease) plain paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNS CT) on coronal view at a tertiary training hospital, which was done consecutively from January 2014 to December 2015. NSB measurements from 3 areas were done: anterior part (A), located anterior and superior to inferior turbinate; middle or widest (M) part, located anterior to middle turbinate and superior to inferior turbinate and posterior (P) part, located within the anterior 1/3 of middle turbinate not going beyond the crista galli. Posterior part of septum (sP) was measured at the area of horizontal attachment of middle turbinate to the lateral nasal wall and superior turbinate to represent the less vasoactive part of the septum. Demographic data and NSB diameters were also analyzed.
resultsThe mean NSB diameter measurements were significantly larger among the diseased group (disease vs. control; A: 6.88 mm vs. 5.92 mm, P=0.001; M: 12.74 mm vs. 10.47 mm, P=0.001; P: 8.35 mm vs. 6.79 mm, P=0.001). A similar observation in sP part (3.35 mm vs. 2.54 mm, P=0.014) was noted. When grouped by age, among the control group, older subjects had considerable decrease in NSB size in all points of measurements except for sP (P>0.05). Such reduction in size is noticeable for those in their 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th decades of life. For the diseased group, a trend of increasing NSB and sP size was noted as the subjects are getting older. However, only the anterior part (A) of NSB reached statistical significance (P=0.016).
conclusionWith aging we expect nasal mucosal atrophy among normal subjects. However, patients with chronic sinonasal disease showed thickened nasal mucosa. Further study for the reversibility of thickened mucosa is needed.
