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

Raftlin, as an inflammatory biomarker, has been previously reported in chronic inflammatory diseases. This study investigates the expression of Raftlin in cigarette smokers and in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), as well as evaluating its correlation with interleukin-17 (IL-17) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels. A total of 30 CRSwNP non-smoking and 16 CRSwNP + SK (smoking) patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery were enrolled, while 20 middle turbinate tissue pieces were examined and performed as the control group. In nasal mucosa epithelial staining, Raftlin levels were elevated in the columnar cells and were stained much more intensely in the CRSwNP and CRSwNP + SK groups. Raftlin was located more closely to the apical region of the epithelium in the CRSwNP + SK group; however, the Raftlin levels from whole nasal tissue pieces, according to ELISA data, showed that there was no significant difference between the three different study groups. A positive relationship by Pearson correlation was found between IL-17 or TNF-α levels and Raftlin levels. Taken together, these data indicate that increasing Raftlin expression in columnar cells might involve nasal epithelial remodeling in smokers with CRSwNP.
