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

backgroundCaudal end correction is one of the main challenges during septoplasty that needs extra steps and skills. This complex area affects the shape of the nose. Moreover, the caudal end represents the medial boundary of the internal nasal valve. Thus, any deviation may disturb this critical area causing nasal obstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the novel traction-suture technique to correct septal caudal end deviation and its postoperative impact. STUDY

designThis prospective case-series study. SETTINGS: It was held in a tertiary referral university institute between January 2019 to February 2022.

methodsWe included 95 cases who suffered from nasal obstruction and a cosmetic problem because of mild or moderate caudal end deviation. Under general anesthesia, the caudal end was corrected by the novel traction-suturing technique (TST). To evaluate the surgical outcomes and patients' related quality of life, we used two validated questionnaires; the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation and the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation before the surgery and 1 year after the surgery.

resultsNOSE and ROE questionnaires showed statistically significant improvements after the surgery (P value was < 0.001). Complications occurred in seven patients (7.3%), all of which were minor complications.

conclusionsTraction-suturing technique (TST) improved nasal breathing and patients' satisfaction with their nasal configuration. Traction-suturing is a simple short maneuver that junior doctors can easily learn without distinct complications or recurrence.
