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

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a common upper airway inflammatory disease with a high postoperative recurrence rate. This study is aimed at exploring the expression of B cell-activating factor (BAFF) in CRSwNP and its association with postoperative recurrence. Methods: A total of 80 CRSwNP patients, including 40 primary CRSwNP patients and 40 recurrent CRSwNP patients, 40 chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) patients, and 40 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled in this study, and the serum and tissue samples were collected. The circulating and tissue BAFF expressions were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Their clinical values for predicting postoperative recurrence of CRSwNP were evaluated. Results: We determined serum levels of BAFF were remarkably increased in the CRSwNP group than the CRSsNP and HC groups ( Conclusion: Our results elucidated that the BAFF expression was enhanced in CRSwNP patients and associated with postoperative recurrence. BAFF could be a serologic biomarker for predicting postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients.
