Burn Pit Exposure Is Associated With Increased Sinonasal Disease.
Article in Journal of occupational and environmental medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine whether self-reported burn pit exposure is associated with increased subjective and objective sinus disease.
designA cross-sectional study was performed evaluating consecutive adult patients presenting to a US Military rhinology clinic. Demographics, medical histories, sinonasal quality-of-life scores, and nasal endoscopy examinations were obtained. Participants were divided into three cohorts based on self-reported exposure histories and outcomes compared.
resultsOne hundred eighty-six patients met the inclusion criteria, the majority of whom were male. Patients with burn pit exposure had worse Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 scores (49.9) compared with those deployed without burn pit exposure (31.8) or never deployed (31.5). Endoscopic findings demonstrated worse disease within those exposed (Lund-Kennedy score, 3.3) compared with the other cohorts (1.8 and 1.7, respectively).
conclusionsThese novel findings suggest that deployment-related burn pit exposure is associated with increased subjective and objective sinus disease.
