Development and Modification of an Outcome Measure to Follow Symptoms of Children with Sinusitis.
Article in The Journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07732699 (Comparative Effectiveness of Available Treatments for Sinus and Ear Infections in Children), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveTo develop a parent-reported Pediatric Rhinosinusitis Symptom Scale (PRSS) that could be used to monitor symptoms of young children with acute sinusitis in response to therapy. STUDY
designWe developed an 8-item symptom severity scale and evaluated its internal reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness in children 2-12 years of age with acute sinusitis. Parents of 258 children with acute sinusitis completed the PRSS at the time of diagnosis, as a diary at home, and at the follow-up visit at days 10-12. Based on psychometric results and additional parent feedback, we revised the scale. We evaluated the revised version in 185 children with acute sinusitis.
resultsCorrelations between the scale and reference measures on the day of enrollment were in the expected direction and of the expected magnitude. PRSS scores at the time of presentation correlated with radiographic findings (P < .001), functional status (P < .001), and parental assessment of overall symptom severity (P < .001). Responsiveness (standardized response mean) and test-retest reliability of the revised scale were good (2.17 and 0.75, respectively).
conclusionsWe have developed an outcome measure to track the symptoms of acute sinusitis. Data presented here support the use of the PRSS as a measure of change in symptom burden in clinical trials of children with acute sinusitis.
