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

purposeOtorhinolaryngological abnormalities are common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its treatment. The main aim of this study was to provide a brief and precise review of the current knowledge regarding CKD and its treatment-related influence on head and neck organs.

methodsThe Medline and Web of Science databases were searched using the terms "chronic kidney disease", "kidney transplantation", "immunosuppression", "dialysis" in conjunction with "otorhinolaryngological manifestation". Articles that did not address the topics, low-quality studies, case reports, and studies based on nonsignificant cohorts were excluded, and the full text of remaining high-quality, novel articles were examined and elaborated on.

resultsPatients with CKD are prone to develop sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, recurrent epistaxis, opportunistic infections including oropharyngeal candidiasis or rhino-cerebral mucormycosis, taste and smell changes, phonatory and vestibular dysfunctions, deep neck infections, mucosal abnormalities, gingival hyperplasia, halitosis or xerostomia. Immunosuppressive therapy after kidney transplantation increases the risk of carcinogenesis, both related and not-related to latent viral infection. The most commonly viral-related neoplasms observed in these patients are oral and oropharyngeal cancers, whereas the majority of not-related to viral infection tumors constitute lip and thyroid cancers. CKD-related otorhinolaryngological dysfunctions are often permanent, difficult to control, have a significant negative influence on patient's quality of life, and can be life threatening.

conclusionPatients with CKD suffer from a number of otorhinolaryngological CKD-induced complications. The relationship between several otorhinolaryngological complications and CKD was widely explained, whereas the correlation between the rest of them and CKD remains unclear. Further studies on this subject are necessary.
