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

Objective: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), a common disease in otorhinolaryngology, seriously affects the life quality of patients. The existing therapy has certain limitations, and it is very urgent to deeply explore the pathogenesis and classification of CRS. Microbiome and inflammation are considered the causes of CRS, but the precise roles and the associations between these two factors in the pathogenesis of CRS remain controversial. Methods: Secretions were collected from the middle nasal canal, maxillary sinus and ethmoid sinus in CRS patients, then subjected to 16 S rRNA gene sequencing to profile microbiota community. Operational Taxonomic Units clustering and species annotation were adopted to obtain species diversity, prevalence rate and average relative abundance. Comparisons were performed at the level of microbial species and genus between CRS and control using NMDS, Anosim and MetaStat analysis. Th1 cytokines and Th2 cytokines were detected by ELISA. Spearman analysis were adopted to probe into the correlation between Th cytokines and microbial species in CRS. Results: Thirty-seven patients were enrolled, among them 22 with CRS and 15 were controls. The most abundant genera were Conclusion: The changes of species richness and complexity in nasal microbiome were obvious in CRS patients with nasal polyps or not. The different cytokines levels and microbiome between CRS patients without nasal polyps and patients with nasal polyps suggest heterogeneity in pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis. Distinct microbiota and different cytokines were strongly linked in CRS. Level of Evidence: NA.
