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

backgroundOne of the most common cosmetic surgeries is rhinoplasty. Iran has the highest rate of rhinoplasty, worldwide. The aim of this study was to compare the demographic characteristics of patients' undergone rhinoplasty during two-time-period with a 10-year-interval in a single surgical center in Isfahan, Iran.

methodsIn a retrospective study, data of the patients who were scheduled for elective rhinoplasty including their age and gender in two-time-period (2005 and 2015) were collected and compared.

resultsData of the 470 and 472 patients' undergone elective primary rhinoplasty during 2005 and 2015 were collected, respectively. In 2005, the age range of patients was 16-51 years. Frequency of patients aged less than 20 years and more than 40 years was 27.1% and 3%, respectively. In 2015, the age range of patients was 16-59 years. Frequency of patients aged less than 20 years and more than 40 years was 12.9% and 5.6%, respectively. Patients in the two studied periods were similar regarding gender, but the mean age of patients had a significant increase during the time.

conclusionMost of our patients were female and the female to male ratio was similar in two studied periods, but it seems that rhinoplasty request is higher in older age in recent years. It is recommended to plan a trend study and more studies considering other factors to be effective in epidemiologic feature of rhinoplasty in our community.
