Histopathology of Sinonasal and Nasopharyngeal Neoplastic Lesions in a Tertiary Care Center of Western Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

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
introductionSinonasal and nasopharyngeal regions harbor diverse clinical conditions including many non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions presenting with nasal obstruction, facial pain and swelling, rhinorrhea, epistaxis, and other oral, ear, and orbital symptoms. Histopathology of excised lesions is the mainstay for the definitive diagnosis and management of neoplastic lesions. The aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of neoplastic lesions among sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses.
methodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among sinonasal and nasopharyngeal masses in the Department of Pathology of a tertiary care center of western Nepal with primary data of 20 years from January 2001 to May 2020. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee. Convenience sampling method was used. Data management and statistical analysis were done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage.
resultsOut of 395 sinonasal and nasopharyngeal lesions, 134 (33.92%) (29.26-38.58 at 95% Confidence Interval) were neoplastic lesions. The malignant lesions were found to be 60 (44.77%). Inverted papilloma was the most common benign lesion comprising 28 (20.89%) of cases, and squamous cell carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma were the most common malignant lesions comprising 12 (8.95%) cases each.
conclusionsThis study observed a variety of neoplastic lesions. The most common benign lesion was nasal polyp and squamous cell carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma were the most common malignant lesions.
