Comparison of nasal functional outcomes of let down rhinoplasty and open technical rhinoplasty using spreader graft.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThis study aimed to compare open technique rhinoplasty with spreader graft and Let Down rhinoplasty using Nasal Symptom Obstruction Evaluation (NOSE), Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 50 patients were included in the study. Patients with a hump greater than 4 mm and mild septal deviation participated in the study. The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 26 patients who underwent Let Down rhinoplasty, while Group 2 consisted of 24 patients who underwent open rhinoplasty with spreader graft. NOSE, SNOT-22, and VAS scales were completed by both groups preoperatively and postoperatively.
resultsThere was no significant difference between the groups in terms of age and gender. Postoperative values of scales were significantly lower than preoperative values in Group 1 (p < 0.001). In Group 2, postoperative values were significantly lower than preoperative values (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups according to NOSE, SNOT-22 and VAS scores.
conclusionAccording to the comparison of scale scores, both Let Down rhinoplasty and open technique rhinoplasty using spreader graft improved nasal functional results such as nasal obstruction.
