Review in Cureus, 2023. 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. Cited by 5 papers.

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

Recently, alternatives to intranasal packing following septoplasty and rhinoseptoplasty have been widely used and promoted. Here, we aimed to systemically review and compare the different types of nasal packing used in these two surgeries. To assess patient comfort and surgical outcomes, we conducted a comprehensive search of multiple databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar to identify and evaluate relevant articles. A detailed and extensive search was performed with the help of the keywords "nasal packing," "septoplasty," "rhinoseptoplasty," "nasal splints," and "intranasal packing." Overall, our review findings indicate that alternative methods (e.g., trans-septal suturing and insertion of intranasal splints) are better options than intranasal packing.
