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

Choanal atresia is the most common congenital anatomical abnormality of the nasal cavities, manifested with a clinical picture of neonatal respiratory distress. The treatment requires interdisciplinary management based mainly on tertiary referral centre experiences. However, there is a lack of high-quality evidence in the available literature. Recommendations were prepared based on a systematic review of the supporting literature: on a website survey addressed to the participating authors consisting of 28 questions and on five live meetings. The initial response to the recommendations was determined at their presentation at the sectional meeting of the section for otorhinolaryngology of the Slovenian Medical Association. Then, reactions from the professional public were accepted until the recommendations were presented at the Expert Council for Otorhinolaryngology of the Slovenian Medical Association. A systematic literature review identified eight systematic reviews or meta-analyses and four randomized controlled clinical trials. Thirty-four recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and postoperative management were consolidated. The paper presents the proposal and first Slovenian recommendations for treating patients with choanal atresia. They are based on foreign medical institutions' published literature and our clinical experience. They represent the basic requirements of diagnostics and may represent an essential guide in treatment.
