A rare case report of bilateral choanal atresia in an adult.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
introductionAdult choanal atresia is a rare congenital malformation of the nasal cavity characterized by the complete obliteration of the posterior choanae, only ninth cases are reported in the literature, we present in our observation the tenth case of adult bilateral choanal atresia. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 18-year-old man presented at our department with complaints of nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, snoring, anosmia, and mouth breathing since childhood. Endoscopic examination and paranasal sinus tomography revealed bilateral choanal atresia. An endoscopic choanoplasty was performed. Follow-up evaluation at postoperative 12th month showed that his symptoms improved significantly and, on endoscopic examination, both choanae remained patent. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionAdult bilateral choanal atresia is a rare entity. The revelation in adulthood of congenital bilateral atresia remains exceptional. Nasal endoscopy and preoperative computed tomography scan help in planning surgery. Endoscopic transnasal choanoplasty is the criterion standard treatment. The exact role of the postoperative stent and use of mitomycin C is controversial.
