Perioperative Indicators of Prognosis in Acute Invasive Fungal Sinusitis.
Article in OTO open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study is to identify perioperative independent prognostic factors that are available to the consulting team to aid in determining prognosis in patients with acute invasive fungal sinusitis. STUDY
designRetrospective chart review of patients with biopsy-proven acute invasive fungal sinusitis from 2015 to 2018.
settingAcademic tertiary care center.
methodsTwenty-one patients were included from our single-center retrospective review. Kaplan-Meier graphs were created, and the Breslow test used to compare the curves to obtain
resultsTwenty-one patients were included, and 17 (76%) had an underlying hematologic malignancy. Overall survival was 71% and 52% at 1 and 3 months, respectively, and 94% of patients with hematologic malignancy had an absolute neutrophil count ≤1 at diagnosis. Absolute neutrophil count values and fungal species were not associated with a difference in prognosis. Factors associated with decreased survival included current smoking and the absence of a rhinologist on the treatment team at the initial or subsequent debridement (hazard ratio, 3.03). Laboratory values such as beta-D-glucan and galactomannan were assessed in addition to disease extension at diagnosis.
conclusionThis study presents a retrospective review of a single institution's experience with acute invasive fungal sinusitis. Subspecialty level of care likely improves overall survival in these patients, whereas current smoking may imply a worse prognosis.
