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
Background: This study aimed to examine the roles of anatomical variation in localized and diffuse chronic rhinosinusitis [LCRS and DCRS]) . Methods: A database was analyzed retrospectively on patients hospitalized in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of our university hospital from 2017 to 2020. A total of 281 patients were included and divided into three categories: patients with LCRS, patients with DCRS, and a normal control group. The frequency of anatomical variation, the demographic information, disease type (with or without polyps), symptom visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and Lund-Mackay (L-M) scores were calculated and compared. Results: Anatomical variants were observed more frequently in LCRS than DCRS (P < 0.05). The frequency of variation was higher in the LCRSwNP group than the DCRSwNP group (P < 0.05), and higher in the LCRSsNP group than the DCRSsNP group (P < 0.05). The L-M scores for patients with DCRS with nasal polyps were significantly higher (14.96 ± 6.15) than those of patients with DCRS without nasal polyps (6.80 ± 5.00) and also significantly higher (3.78 ± 2.07) than those of patients with LCRS with nasal polyps (2.63 ± 1.12; P < 0.05). A poor correlation was observed between the severity of symptoms and the performance of CT scans in CRS (R = 0.29, P < 0.01). Conclusion: Anatomical variants were common in CRS, and possibly correlated with LCRS but not with DCRS. The frequency of anatomical variation is not associated with the occurrence of polyps. CT could reflect the severity of disease symptoms to some extent.
