Internal Nasal Valve Modification via Correction of High Dorsal Deviation Using a Modified Mattress Suture Technique.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
High dorsal deviation of the septum can cause nasal obstruction due to internal nasal valve (INV) stenosis. We have developed a new technique using a modified mattress suture on the bony-cartilaginous junction to correct high dorsal septal deviation. This study focused on the effect of this suturing technique on the modification of the INV. We enrolled 40 patients who underwent septoplasty using a modified mattress suture technique. We retrospectively analyzed the data of the preoperative and postoperative INV angles and cross-sectional areas (CSAs), which were measured using computed tomography. In addition, we compared the patients' subjective nasal symptoms, which were measured with the preoperative and postoperative Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) instrument. Postoperative increases in the narrow side INV angle and CSA were achieved. Additionally, the wide side INV angle and CSA were significantly decreased postoperatively. The INV and CSA ratio (wide/narrow) were also decreased postoperatively and were brought closer to 1. The subjective nasal symptoms also exhibited significantly reduced NOSE values. In this study, we confirmed the effects of septoplasty using a modified mattress suture technique for INV modification through the comparison of the preoperative and postoperative INV angles and CSAs.
