Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07745127 (Trans Septal Suture Technique Verses Anterior Nasal Packing After Septoplasty - A Comparative Study), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

The nasal septum is an osteocartilaginous wall that divides the nose into two nasal cavities. Asymptomatic minor deviation of the septum is considered a normal developmental variation found in the majority of the population. The reported global prevalence rates had great variation due to the extent of deviation considered in the reporting studies. Previous classification systems have been proposed to classify the nasal septal deviation according to the characteristics of the nasal septum seen horizontally and vertically. For some patients, the degree of the deviation may affect the nasal airflow causing obstruction or impairing the olfactory function. Headache, rhinosinusitis, high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, and breathing sounds are also among the clinical presentations of nasal septal deviation. Clinical assessment is sufficient to make the diagnosis while imaging techniques are required for decision-making. Radiological imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) are used to classify and assess the severity of the deviated septum. Surgical correction is the treatment option for nasal septal deviation. Septoplasty is the most common procedure used for nasal correction with high satisfaction levels and low complication rates. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the concept, presentation, diagnosis, management options, and quality of life of patients with nasal septal deviation.
