Recurrent epistaxis in children.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
questionA child came to my clinic complaining of recurrent epistaxis with several episodes occurring every year since he was a toddler. The nosebleeds affect both nostrils, often lasting for an extended period of time and occurring in no apparent seasonal pattern. What interventions are safe and effective for recurrent epistaxis in children, and which patients warrant hematologic testing? ANSWER: Epistaxis affects more than half of children by the time they are 10 years old, with 9% of children reported to have recurrent episodes. Most cases are of benign origin and will not require further workup. For those seeking intervention, nasal mucosal hydration, such as emollient application, or humidification resolves up to 65% of cases, and many novel interventions have shown promise in their respective initial studies. Standardized bleeding questionnaires have demonstrated usefulness in decision making for further coagulation studies, taking into account historical features including frequency, duration, bleeding site, seasonal correlation, and severity.
