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

backgroundIn the clinical setting, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is usually divided into eosinophilic-CRS (ECRS) and non-ECRS (NECRS) in Japan. Patients with the former are believed to be at risk for postoperative recurrence of CRS. However, some patients have been missed according to these phenotypic classifications due to the low number of infiltrating eosinophils in polyp tissues.

objectiveIn the present study, we attempted to identify cellular or molecular candidate markers to predict nasal polyp recurrence.

methodsNasal polyps were collected from 32 patients with CRSwNP who had undergone an endoscopic sinus surgery. These patients were divided into ECRS and NECRS groups in accordance with the Japanese Epidemiological Survey of Refractory Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (JESREC) scoring system and the number of eosinophils in polyp tissues. Unclassifiable patients were referred to as the unknown group.

resultsEosinophil infiltration in resected nasal polyps was most evident in the ECRS group. However, the number of mast cells and tryptase-positive cells in nasal polyps were significantly lower in ECRS and unknown groups compared with the NECRS group. A significant positive correlation was detected between the JESREC score and number of eosinophils. The numbers of mast cells and tryptase-positive cells were negatively correlated with the JESREC score in all included samples. Significant positive correlations were detected between the number of transforming growth factor β1-positive cells and the number of mast cells, tryptase-positive cells, and chymase-positive cells mast cells. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings indicated that the enumeration of mast cells in resected polyps may be another approach to predict postoperative polyp recurrence in CRSwNP patients.
