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

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous definition that includes different disease states that usually are associated with abnormal inflammatory responses. Besides being prevalent, the mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis are not clear and there are few therapeutic options with tolerable side effects. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux pump responsible of extruding xenobiotics and cellular metabolites from multiple cell types. It has been widely studied in the cancer field, due to its ability to confer resistance to chemotherapy. It also promotes Type 2 helper T-cell polarizing cytokine secretion in CRS and may represent a potential target to differentiate subtypes of CRS and personalize treatment. This state-of-the-art review explores current knowledge on the participation of P-gp in the pathogenesis of CRS, the P-gp inhibition as a novel targeted therapeutic strategy and the exosomal P-gp test, a non-invasive biomarker that can represent an important advance in the field of rhinology.
