Bacterial Flora of the Nose and Paranasal Sinuses Among Patients Over 65 Years Old with Chronic Rhinosinusitis Who Underwent Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.

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
purposeChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is one of the most common chronic diseases in the geriatric population. However, CRS inflammatory mechanisms in older people have not been thoroughly investigated. Our work aimed to analyze the bacterial flora of the nose and paranasal sinuses in patients with CRS over 65 years of age, including comorbidities, previously performed endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), presence or absence of polyps and the extent of the inflammatory process. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study involved 529 patients between 18 and 84 years of age with chronic rhinosinusitis who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery. There were 101 patients separated over 65 years of age (M = 52, K = 49, mean age 69 ± 0.7 years). The control group consisted of 168 patients aged 18-40 years with CRS. The bacterial culture of material collected from the patients during ESS was analyzed.
resultsIn the group of patients over 65 years of age, more frequent occurrence of
conclusionThe bacterial flora of patients with CRS is different in older and younger patients. A different therapeutic approach should be considered in older patients with CRS, but this problem requires further studies.
