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

In this research study, we will study the clinical effect of Biyuan Tongqiao granules with saline nasal irrigation for treatment of chronic sinusitis. It will also study its impacts on the computed tomography (CT) score of the nasal sinus and negative reactions in patients. For this purpose, ninety (90) patients with chronic sinusitis were admitted to the hospital (June 2019 to June 2020). They were selected as the research subjects and divided into experimental and control groups randomly with 45 cases in each group. Control group patients were treated with nasal irrigation with normal saline. While, Biyuan Tongqiao granules combined with nasal irrigation with normal saline was treated by the experimental group. The CT scores of nasal sinus, clinical effect, the incidence of adverse reactions, recurrence rate, duration of nasal mucosal epithelialization, and nasal ciliary transmission speed of both the groups were compared. The patients' pain was assessed by the visual analogue scale (VAS), and the symptoms of sinusitis were scored by the SNOT-20 scale. The experimental group showed significantly lower sinus CT scores and better clinical effects. Adverse reactions were not observed in both the groups' probability (
