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
purposeTo compare the autonomic reflexes caused by inferior turbinate outfracture or bipolar cauterization for inferior turbinate reduction surgery.
methodsThe investigators designed and implemented a prospective study composed of 80 patients who underwent a septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction. The predictor variable was the type of bilateral reduction operation and included inferior turbinate outfracture with a freer elevator and 20 watts bipolar cauterization for 15 s per side after septoplasty. The primary outcome variable was the intraoperative changes of the heart rate monitored preoperatively and 20 s, 1 min, and 4 min after the turbinate reduction procedure. Other variables were systolic and diastolic blood pressure alterations after the inferior turbinate outfracture or bipolar cauterization procedure. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were computed and the P-value was set at .05.
resultsThe sample was composed of 160 procedures in 80 patients grouped as follows: Outfracture (n = 100) and Cauterization (n = 60). There were no significant differences between the ages; grades of the turbinate hypertrophy; preoperative heart rates; and intraoperative 4th-minute heart rates, systolic and diastolic blood pressures. However, baseline systolic (p < 0.001) and diastolic (p < 0.001) blood pressures of the bipolar cauterization group were higher than outfracture group. Bipolar cauterization did not cause any significant changes in the heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Inferior turbinate outfracture procedure caused a significant increase in heart rate (65.4 ± 9.82, p < 0.001), systolic (103 ± 8.62, p < 0.001) and diastolic (63.5 ± 7.37, p < 0.001) blood pressures.
conclusionThe results of this study suggest that during the inferior turbinate outfracture procedure, it is important to closely monitor sympathetic and parasympathetic reflexes. The surgeon, and anesthesiologist, must be aware of the early stages of the autonomic reflexes during turbinate reduction.
