Daily Saline Nasal Douching for Chronic Allergic Rhinosinusitis: An Autobiographical Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chronic allergic rhinosinusitis is a debilitating condition in a group of susceptible individuals with multifactorial etiology. I present my case of suffering from chronic allergic rhinosinusitis for 25 years treated with multiple drugs and surgeries with no relief. Adjunctive daily saline nasal douching has provided significant relief for three years to date. Genetic susceptibility with defective ciliary clearance, mucosal metaplasia with increased goblet cells secreting thick and inspissated mucus blocking the normal drainage, and stasis of secretions with inadequate mucosal immunity predisposes to polymicrobial infections, including fungal infections, antimicrobial resistance, and recurrent episodes of rhinosinusitis. Medical and surgical strategies often fail to manage this condition appropriately in a few cases. Adjunctive daily saline nasal douching is a safe and effective alternative to manage the debilitating symptoms of chronic allergic rhinosinusitis.
