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

purposeThere is no report in the literature targeting the role of Pantoea dispersa in rhinosinusitis and P. dispersa has not been identified as a commensal bacterium in the sinonasal cavity. We aimed to investigate the role of P. dispersa in rhinosinusitis.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the data of patients diagnosed with rhinosinusitis at a medical center in Taiwan.

resultsA total of 274 rhinosinusitis patients underwent sinus culture between July 2017 and July 2019. All 23 patients with acute P. dispersa rhinosinusitis experienced purulent rhinorrhea; three (13%) had nasal obstruction, but none had olfactory dysfunction, facial pressure/pain and nasal polyp. The patients with P. dispersa received a significantly shorter duration of antibiotic treatment (19.9 ± 2.6 vs. 28.9 ± 2.5 days, P = 0.015) and had lower surgery rate (0% vs. 16.7%, P = 0.043) than other patients. Patients with olfactory dysfunction were more likely to receive surgical treatment (P = 0.018).

conclusionAcute rhinosinusitis caused by P. dispersa resulted in less surgical interventions and shorter treatment durations. Olfactory dysfunction may imply longer course and possibility for surgical intervention in chronic rhinosinusitis. The present study revealed that P. dispersa had the potential to colonize in human sinonasal cavities and cause rhinosinusitis.
