The effect of frontal sinus pneumatization on anatomic variants of paranasal sinuses.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThe aim of this study is to determine the effect of frontal sinus pneumatization on various variations of paranasal sinuses on maxillofacial CT. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total number of 120 patients (62 females, 58 males) were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups regarding their frontal sinus pneumatization extent on paranasal sinus CT as Type 1 pneumatization (aplasia and hypoplasia), Type 2 pneumatization (medium) and Type 3 pneumatization (hyperplasia). The prevalence of various variations on paranasal sinus CT like pneumatization of upper and middle concha, presence of agger nasi, Haller and Onodi cell, maxillary sinus and sphenoid sinus hypoplasia, pneumatization of anterior clinoid process, pterygoid process and greater wing of sphenoid sinus, dehiscence and protrusion of internal carotid artery and optic nerve and vidian canal types were ascertained and compared within each group.
resultsThe prevalence of upper and middle concha pneumatization, Haller cell, pneumatization of anterior clinoid process, pterygoid process and greater wing of sphenoid and internal carotid artery dehiscence and protrusion was higher in Type 3 group compared with other groups.
conclusionExcessive pneumatization of frontal sinus has various effects on paranasal sinus variations at maxillofacial CT. Surgeons dealing with endoscopic sinus surgery, maxillofacial and skull base surgery must be vigilant of association between certain variations when analyzing CT scan preoperatively for avoiding complications.
