1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAn increasing number of studies have investigated the effect of various methods in avoiding complications in rhinoplasty. Our study aims to analyze the connections between various choices in rhinoplasty and the rate of multiple complications by summarizing results in related meta-analyses. MATERIALS AND

methodsThrough Pubmed, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Database were associated systematic reviews searched to gather and review the available evidence of different plans and health outcomes in rhinoplasty for this umbrella review.

resultsThe study included 14 systematic reviews with 128 meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials. Edema and ecchymosis were the two most investigated outcomes. The implementations of steroid, tranexamic acid, periosteal preservation, external approach in lateral osteotomy, and piezoelectric osteotomy were linked with significantly lower incidence of several complications. Multiple administration of steroids was found to be associated with fewer complications in a prolonged time.

conclusionsWith summarized evidence of complications related to rhinoplasty, this research can help surgeons to avert patients from suffering complications and optimize cosmetic outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
