Postoperative Debridement versus No Debridement in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
Article in Iranian journal of otorhinolaryngology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThis study aimed to assess the long-term effects of postoperative debridement on the 4 MATERIALS AND
methodsThe statistical population of this study (n=80) consisted of 40 patients having chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and 40 patients having chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP). These samples were randomly divided into two groups of debridement and control.
resultsAccording to the results, 8 weeks after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test questionnaire score (P =0.03), Lund-Kennedy score (P<0.001), nasal blockage (P=0.02), and loss/decrease in sense of smell (P=0.02) in CRSwNP were significantly lower in the debridement group than in the control group. Moreover, 6 months after ESS, in both CRSwNP and CRSsNP, no significant difference was observed between the two groups considering the outcomes (P>0.05).
conclusionThis study showed that debridement could lead to short-term improvements in CRSwNP patients; however, no long-term benefit was observed.
