Temperature-Controlled Radiofrequency Neurolysis for the Treatment of Rhinitis.
Article in American journal of rhinology & allergy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07323888 (Comparison of Traditional Radiofrequency Ablation of Inferior Turbinates With or Without Posterior Nasal Radiofrequency Ablation), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundChronic rhinitis is a prevalent condition with a significant impact on quality of life. Posterior nasal nerve and vidian neurectomy are surgical options for treating the symptoms of chronic rhinitis but are invasive procedures.
objectiveTo determine the outcomes of patients diagnosed with refractory chronic rhinitis and treated with temperature-controlled radiofrequency neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve area in a minimally invasive procedure.
methodsA prospective, single-arm multicenter study with follow-up through 52 weeks. Eligible adult patients had chronic rhinitis symptoms of at least 6 months duration with inadequate response to at least 4 weeks usage of intranasal steroids and an overall 12-h reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) ≥ 6 with subscores 2 to 3 for rhinorrhea, 1 to 3 for nasal congestion, and 0 to 3 for each of nasal itching and sneezing. Temperature-controlled radiofrequency energy was delivered to the nasal cavity mucosa overlying the posterior nasal nerve region with a novel single-use, disposable, handheld device.
resultsA total of 50 patients were treated (42.0% male; mean age 57.9 ± 11.9 years), and 47 completed the study through 52 weeks. Mean rTNSS significantly improved from 8.5 (95% CI 8.0, 9.0) at baseline to 3.6 (95% CI 3.0, 4.3) at 52 weeks (
conclusionsTemperature-controlled radiofrequency neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve area for the treatment of chronic rhinitis is safe and resulted in a durable improvement in the symptoms of chronic rhinitis through a 52-week follow-up. Data suggest that this novel device could be considered a minimally invasive option in the otolaryngologist's armamentarium for the treatment of chronic rhinitis.
