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

Nasal polyps (NP) cause diverse clinical symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Chronic inflammation of sinonasal mucosa is known to be crucial in NP formation. We aimed to define the implications of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-δ in nasal inflammation associated with NP by analyzing NP tissue obtained from CRS patients. Results showed that expression of p110δ, a regulatory subunit of PI3K-δ, in NP tissue was increased compared to control tissue. Increased p110δ expression was closely correlated with more severe CRS features. Interestingly, p110δ expression was increased in eosinophilic NP, which are closely related to more complicated clinical courses of the disease. Furthermore, CRS patients possessing NP with higher p110δ expression displayed more eosinophils in NP tissue and blood, higher levels of IL-5 in NP tissue, and more severe features of the disease. Therefore, PI3K-δ may contribute to the formation of NP, especially eosinophilic NP associated with more severe clinical presentations and radiological features.
