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

Background Epistaxis is a very common symptom. The occurrence of epistaxis may be affected by dry environments, but there are some differences among previous reports and this view is controversial. Objective We investigated the relationship between the number of epistaxes and daily average relative humidity. Methods Data on patients with epistaxis between March 2011 and February 2021 were collected from two hospitals. The daily average relative humidity was examined, and the change in the number of patients with epistaxis due to humidity was investigated using a generalized linear mixed model. Results A total of 4184 cases of epistaxis were identified. The number of epistaxis cases per day was significantly associated with the daily average relative humidity (p < 0.001). One percent increment in average relative humidity decreases the number of epistaxis cases per day by 1.1%. Conclusion A negative correlation was found to exist between daily average relative humidity and occurrences of epistaxis.
