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
This study was done to study incidence, age and sex distribution of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis and to study number of patients who required medical management only and how many required both medical and surgical management. Complications of medical and surgical management was also studied. A prospective study was carried out for 18 months. Clinically and radiologically diagnosed cases of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis were chosen for the study. Cases of chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis, with complication and revision cases were excluded. We used SNOTT-22 as a subjective tool and Lund-Mackay score as an objective tool to compare role of medical and surgical management in our study. Total of 45 patients were included in the study in age group 11-45 years, with 26 males and 19 females (male: female = 1.4:1).16 patients (35.6%) improved with medical management only but 29 patients (64.4%) needed surgical management after medical treatment for 6 weeks.6 patients had complication,1 after medical management and 5 in medical plus surgical management group. In our study both medical and surgical management was found equally effective in management of nasal polyposis, in terms of patient satisfaction. In CT scan lower scores were found in patients with surgical management but it did not reflect much on overall SNOTT-22 score. Thus, we should do proper clinical evaluation followed by appropriate medical therapy for patients of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.
