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

Bilateral choanal atresia (CA) is a congenital anomaly consisting of an imperforated choana that leads to newborn fatalities but, if unilateral, may go unnoticed for many years. Bilateral CA occurring without significant symptoms and remaining undiagnosed for many years is rare. This case report identifies an adolescent male with bilateral CA who remained undiagnosed till adolescence. The patient presented with isolated complaints of chronic nasal obstruction and discharge and was diagnosed with bilateral CA by endoscopic and radiological evaluation. The patient underwent a coblation-assisted endoscopic CA repair, with a crossover mucoperiosteal flap technique, without stenting and with a successful outcome.
