Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07675512 (Effect of Adelmidrol Nasal Spray on Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Headache secondary to sinonasal disease is still overestimated in the diagnostic pathway of cephalalgia. Contrary to belief, so-called sinus headaches are fairly uncommon and seen mostly in acute sinusitis or acute exacerbations. Even though literature has written extensively about the prevalence of migraines in self-diagnosed or primary care-diagnosed sinus headache, there is only a small body of literature regarding the real prevalence of pain and headache occurring during acute and chronic sinusitis.We reviewed the current literature and clarified the differences in presentation of pain for acute and chronic sinusitis, highlighting the higher prevalence of pain in chronic rhinosinusitis without polyps versus with polyps. Furthermore, we stressed the need for a rethinking in the clinical diagnosis of sinusitis based on pain as a major symptom.
