The Effect of Functional Rhinoplasty on Quality of Life: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe purpose of the study was to comprehensively review the effect of functional rhinoplasty on quality of life.
methodsEligible studies before December 2022 were identified by searching PubMed, Ovid, and Embase databases. The meta-analysis was performed with Stata. Outcomes included NOSE, SNOT-22 scores, VAS of obstruction, and ROE.
resultsSixteen studies, involving a total of 971 patients, were included. Meta-analysis showed that functional rhinoplasty statistically reduced the NOSE, SNOT-22 scores, and VAS of obstruction and statistically increased the ROE score of patients.
conclusionFunctional rhinoplasty could statistically significantly improve quality of life of patients. However, given the number and quality of included research, further thorough studies with a larger sample size of high-quality studies need to be conducted.
