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

With the advent of Multi-detector Computed Tomography (MDCT), imaging evaluation of paranasal sinuses (PNS) and nasal cavity has witnessed a paradigm shift. Submillimetric slice thickness with superior quality multiplanar reconstructions in orthogonal as well as non-orthogonal planes have resulted in better understanding of the intricate details of complex sino-nasal anatomy and their normal variations. Sagittal plane images have gained increasing acceptance among the sinus surgeons for understanding frontal sinus drainage pathway as well as lateral nasal wall. Analyzing the axial volume dataset in three dimensions has become a routine both for the radiologists as well as sinus surgeon. Besides default window settings, customized window settings enable better appreciation of air containing structures and their boundaries. Mandatory scan check list and template based structured reporting helps the sinus surgeon in better pre-operative planning. Regular mutual interaction between radiologists and sinus surgeon helps better understanding of the surgically relevant anatomy and anatomical variations.
