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
Introduction: Bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery has an unfavorable effect on the surgical field and prolongs the time of surgery. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of topical furosemide on bleeding and the quality of the surgical field during endoscopic sinus surgery. Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 76 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were selected for endoscopic sinus surgery and randomly assigned to two groups, topical furosemide (intervention) and normal saline (control). The intervention group received 20 micrograms of intranasal spray twice daily, and the control group received regular intranasal saline spray, similar to the intervention group. In addition, the quality of the surgical field (scoring by the BOEZAART grading system) and the amount of bleeding during surgeries were measured. All data were analyzed. Results: In the intervention and control groups, the mean surgical bleeding volume was 187.70± 24.79 and 229.21± 28.18 ml (P <0.001), the mean of Boezaart scale 2 and 3 (P <0.001) and the mean of surgical time were 106.53±14.67 and 126.63 ± 15.42 minutes (P <0.001), respectively. In patients of the intervention group with and without polyps, the mean surgery time was 99.56± 12.15 and 118.84 ±10.03 minutes (P <0.001), and the mean bleeding volume during endoscopic sinus surgery was 176.46 ± 22.58, 208.46 ±12.14 ml (P <0.001) respectively. Conclusions: Our findings showed that nasal, topical furosemide spray significantly reduced the amount of bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery and time of the surgery and improved the quality of the surgical field.
