Computed Tomographic Comparison of Length, Width and Angulation of Ethmoidal Infundibulum in Patients With and Without Maxillary Sinusitis.

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
Ethmoidal infundibulum (EI) is an important part of the osteomeatal complex, which provides the main pathway for the maxillary sinus drainage. This study aimed to compare the length, width, and angulation of EI in patients with/without maxillary sinusitis using computed tomography (CT). This cross-sectional study evaluated 818 spiral CT scans of patients with/without maxillary sinusitis (n = 409 maxillary sinuses in each group) classified according to the clinical symptoms and the Lund-Mackay score for mucosal thickening. The degree of mucosal thickening (on axial and coronal sections), anatomical variations namely concha bullosa (CB), ethmoidal bulla (EB), and Haller cells (HCs), the form of EI (on coronal sections), the length, width and angulation of EI, and degree of nasal septal deviation (on coronal sections) were all evaluated. Data were analyzed by parametric and non-parametric tests (alpha = 0.05). The frequency of EB (
