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

backgroundSphenoid sinus is a type of sinus surrounded by critical structures so that its injury potential to induce complications during surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the location of the sphenoid sinus natural ostium (SSO) to provide valuable data for endoscopic sinus surgery.

methodsOstiomeatal unit (OMU) computerized tomography (CT) was performed on 198 subjects. Across the left and right sides, 396 evaluation results were obtained. The vertical distance to determine the location of the SSO was analyzed based on Lines 1, 2 and 3 on the sagittal image. The horizontal distance was analyzed based on Lines 4 and 5 on the axial image. The upper, lower, medial and non-medial borders were defined according to the location of the SSO. The presellar, sellar and postsellar types were categorized according to the level of sphenoid sinus pneumatization (SSP) on the sagittal image. The presence and absence of Onodi cells were defined on the coronal image. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate each factor.

resultsAs the rostrum width of the SSO on the horizontal position increased, the position toward non-medial boarder increased by 4.902 times so that the natural ostium showed a trend of lateralization. For the postsellar type, compared to the presellar type, the position toward the non-medial boarder decreased by 0.223 times, indicating that the postsellar type had the natural ostium showing a trend of medialization. In the presence of Onodi cells, the position toward the lower boarder increased by 2.599 times with a significant association.

conclusionsThe results in this study indicated that the presellar type of SSP had the natural ostium exhibiting lateralization with an increase in the rostrum width, whereas the postsellar type had the natural ostium exhibiting medialization with a decrease in the rostrum width. Based on these findings, the methods to widen the natural ostium may be diversified.
