The Effect of Smoking on Septoplasty and Septorhinoplasty Outcomes.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2022. 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
backgroundThere have been many studies in the literature describing the techniques, the associated comorbidities and the outcomes related to septoplasty and septorhinoplasty, while there have been few studies evaluating the effects of cigarette smoking on septorhinoplasty. The present study evaluates the effect of cigarette smoking on complication and revision rates and compares the functional results of smoking and non-smoking patients.
methodThe data of 598 patients were retrospectively analyzed, and the age, gender, cigarette smoking status, type of operation, NOSE scores, complications and revision rates were recorded. For the purpose of the study, three different patient groups were defined, being those who had never smoked, those who smoked in the past but had quit and active cigarette smokers. The preoperative and postoperative 6th month Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Questionnaire scores were compared, and the three groups were compared in terms of complications and the need for revision.
resultsNo differences were identified in the complication rates or revision requirements of the three groups with different cigarette smoking statuses (p=0.17 and p=0.74, respectively). The NOSE scores of the surgery groups and cigarette smoking categories improved significantly after the operation (p=0.01). No difference was identified in the NOSE scores of the groups with different cigarette smoking statuses (p>0.05).
conclusionActive cigarette smoking has no effect on the functional results and rates of complication/revision after septoplasty or septorhinoplasty operation. That said, surgeons should suggest that patients quit smoking preoperatively in order to minimize the general systematic effects of cigarette smoking.
