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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of raftlin (RFTN) in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). There is no study in the literature investigating the role of RFTN in the pathogenesis of CRSwNP.
methodsThe present study was designed as a case-control study and conducted between 25.09.2020 and 01.01.2022. CRSwNP and control groups were formed in the study. Serum and tissue samples were taken from each patient in the study and their RFTN levels were measured. While nasal polyps were used for tissue samples in the CRSwNP group, middle meatus mucosa obtained during concha bullosa surgery was used in the control group.
resultsThe control group included 31 patients (8 female, 23 male) and the CRSwNP group included 49 patients (14 female, 35 male). The mean age of the control group was 40.42 ± 9.99 years, while the mean age of the CRSwNP group was 43.47 ± 10.19 years. When the groups are compared in terms of gender and age, there were no statistically significant differences (p = 0.78, p = 0.19, respectively). The serum RFTN levels in the control and CRSwNP groups were 7.85 ± 10.87 ng/ml, and 7.02 ± 8.59 ng/ml, respectively (p = 0.45). The tissue RFTN levels in the control group and CRSwNP group were 87.15 ± 69.91 ng/ml, and 66.50 ± 17.10 ng/ml, respectively (p = 0.04, statistically significant).
conclusionRFTN deficiency in nasal polyp tissue may be one of the reasons for the development of CRSwNP. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of RFTN in CRSwNP.
