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

The nasal mucociliary clearance system, which comprises epithelial cilia and mucus from goblet cells, is an important intrinsic defense mechanism of the upper respiratory tract. Intranasal drugs and additives can have a detrimental effect on ciliary activity and mucociliary clearance, and thus impact the integrity of nasal defense mechanisms. This article discusses the current literature on the effects of different classes of intranasal drugs including intranasal corticosteroids, antihistamines, decongestants, antimicrobials and antivirals, as well as various drug excipients and nasal irrigation solutions on human nasal mucociliary clearance and ciliary beat frequency. Available data indicate that some intranasal formulations tend to hamper nasal ciliary function and mucociliary clearance. Therefore, it is of great importance to assess the effects of intranasal drugs and additives on mucociliary function before they are recommended as therapy for different nasal conditions.
