Comparison of SNOT-25 and ENS6Q in evaluating patients with empty nose syndrome.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Objectives: Patients with empty nose syndrome (ENS) experience paradoxical nasal obstruction and various psychological burdens. This study aimed to compare ENS-specific questionnaires of sino-nasal outcome test-25 (SNOT-25) and empty nose syndrome 6-item questionnaire (ENS6Q) in the peri-operative evaluation of ENS. Methods: This was a prospective case series study. Patients with ENS were recruited and evaluated with the SNOT-25, ENS6Q, beck depression inventory-II (BDI-II), and beck anxiety inventory (BAI) before and 6 months after nasal reconstruction surgery. Results: Seventy-four ENS patients were enrolled during the study period. All four evaluations revealed significant improvements after surgery. Pre-operative SNOT-25 scores exhibited a significant correlation with pre-operative ENS6Q ( Conclusions: Both SNOT-25 and ENS6Q were helpful in evaluating peri-operative symptoms for patients with ENS. Although the ENS6Q score had a good correlation with the BDI-II and BAI scores preoperatively, it was not associated with post-operative BDI-II and BAI scores. Hence, a simultaneous psychological assessment is necessary when evaluating patients using the ENS6Q.Level of Evidence: 2c.
