Autonomic nervous system dysfunction and sinonasal symptoms.
Article in Allergy & rhinology (Providence, R.I.). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) richly innervates the nose and paranasal sinuses, and has a significant role in lower airway diseases, e.g., asthma. Nonetheless, its contribution to sinonasal symptoms is poorly understood. This review aimed to explore the complex relationship between the ANS and sinonasal symptoms, with reference to systemic diseases and triggers of ANS dysfunction.
methodsA review of articles published in English was conducted by searching medical literature databases with the key words "autonomic nervous system" and ("sinusitis" or "nose" or "otolaryngology"). All identified abstracts were reviewed, and, from these, relevant published whole articles were selected.
resultsThe ANS has a significant role in the pathophysiologic mechanisms that produce sinonasal symptoms. There was limited evidence that describes the relationship of the ANS in sinonasal disease with systemic conditions, e.g. hypertension. There was some evidence to support mechanisms related to physical and psychological stressors in this relationship.
conclusionThe role of ANS dysfunction in sinonasal disease is highly complex. The ANS sits within a web of multiple factors, including personality and psychological distress, that contribute to sinonasal symptoms. Further research will help to clarify the etiology of ANS dysfunction and its contribution to common systemic conditions.
