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

This study aimed to assess efficacy of submucosal thulium laser turbinoplasty in children and to compare thulium laser turbinoplasty with partial inferior turbinectomy. This is a retrospective study over 10 years from 1 January 2009, conducted in a Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology Department in a university tertiary care center, including all the children who underwent thulium laser inferior turbinoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomy. The main outcome measures were the improvement in airflow using rhinomanometric cumulative flow at 150 Pa and then functional improvement using "OPERAS" score (nasal Obstruction, facial Pain, Epistaxis, Rhinorrhea, Anosmia, Sneezing). Eighty-six children underwent 47 submucosal thulium laser turbinoplasties and 48 partial turbinectomies. After submucosal thulium laser turbinoplasty, the cumulative flow at 150 Pa improved from 308.2 to 454.4 cm
