Prospective evaluation of oral corticosteroid as a predictor of postoperative olfactory recovery after functional endoscopic surgery for nasal polyposis.

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
purposeAnticipating the possibility of olfactory recovery after functional endoscopic surgery (FES) in nasal polyposis (NP) is difficult. The main objective of this study was to assess the predictive factors of recovering the sense of smell after radical bilateral ethmoidectomy. Secondary objectives were to identify other predictors of olfactory recovery.
methodsOpen prospective study was conducted at the Nantes University Hospital including all patients with NP operated on in the Ear, Nose, and Throat Department between January 2011 and September 2017. These patients underwent functional endoscopic surgery (radical ethmoidectomy) after medical treatment failure. Olfaction was quantified prospectively and systematically during the preoperative consultation using a visual analog scale. Multivariate analysis evaluated the presence of predictive factors of postoperative olfactory recovery.
resultsOne hundred nineteen patients were included in the study. Overall, olfaction was partially improved after surgery. For patients who presented greater than 50% recovery of olfaction after systemic corticosteroid therapy before surgery, we observed a predictive better rate of olfactory recovery after surgery (p < 0.001). Age over 65 years, a history of sinonasal surgery, associated asthma, and bacterial colonization were not associated with less postoperative olfactory recovery.
conclusionThis study identified an objective factor that may influence olfactory recovery after FES using a therapeutic trial for olfactory recovery after oral corticosteroid treatment taken before surgery.
