Eosinophilic Mucin Rhinosinusitis in Iranian Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.
Article in Iranian journal of otorhinolaryngology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionEosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis is a type of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Diagnosis and treatment of this condition play a significant role in reducing the patients' clinical symptoms. This type of rhinosinusitis has a higher relapse rate, compared to the other types. This disease is more resistant to treatment and more dependent on corticosteroid therapy, compared to the other types of rhinosinusitis. Regarding this, the present study was designed to evaluate the frequency of eosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis in patients undergoing sinus surgery in a tertiary referral center and examine some clinical and laboratory characteristics regarding this type of rhinosinusitis. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional observational study was performed on patients over the age of 16 years, who were diagnosed with CRS in the otolaryngology clinic of a referral tertiary-level hospital, and were candidates for endoscopic sinus surgery. Based on the detection of eosinophilic mucin, the subjects were divided into two groups of eosinophilic mucin and non-eosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis (controls). The groups were compared in terms of sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22) scores, Lund-Mackay staging scores, osteitis status, immunoglobulin E (IgE) level, and eosinophilia.
resultsIn this study, 46 subjects participated, 29 (63%) cases of whom had eosinophilic mucin. The SNOT-22 score and serum IgE level were significantly higher in the eosinophilic mucin group, compared to those in the control group. Osteitis and Lund-Mackay scores were also higher in the eosinophilic mucin group than those in the control group; however, this difference was not statistically significant.
conclusionPatients with eosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis showed a more severe clinical involvement. Seemingly, the Iranian patients have a lower and higher frequency of eosinophilic mucin rhinosinusitis, compared to the patients from the Western countries and East Asia, respectively.
