Assessment of International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification among senior residents through inter- and intra-rater reliability.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectivesTo evaluate the International Frontal Sinus Anatomy Classification (IFAC) reliability among Saudi board otorhinolaryngology senior residents.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was carried out at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between April 2019 and December 2019, included 32 senior residents. Questionnaires with 4 computed tomography images showing the different frontal cell types were used in this survey. All scans included 3 planes (axial, sagittal, coronal) and the tested cell was marked with arrows. Residents chose the answer from multiple choices according to the IFAC system. All residents filled the same questionnaire twice with 2 weeks interval.
resultsApproximately 68.8% of residents agreed that the classification was applicable clinically. The resident's attitude toward the importance of understanding IFAC was 65.6%. Residents' correct classification of the marked cells increased significantly for most of the questions from baseline to 2 weeks.
conclusionThe frontal sinus is not easy to treat surgically, and its inadequate treatment causes the failure of drainage, as in the case of chronic rhinosinusitis. Therefore, surgeons must fully understand the IFAC system to avoid major and minor complications.
