Application of expanding bilateral sphenoid sinus plasty in the treatment of sphenoid sinus diseases.

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
Expanding bilateral sphenoid sinus plasty is an essential technique for the treatment of sphenoid sinus diseases, such as refractory sphenoid sinusitis, sphenoid sinus cyst, fungal sphenoid sinusitis, sphenoid sinus carcinoma and sphenoid sinus chordoma. The present study evaluated the potential application of expanding bilateral sphenoid sinus plasty in the treatment of sphenoid sinus diseases. A retrospective medical record review of 42 patients treated with the expanding bilateral sphenoid sinus plasty from December 2012 to December 2018 was performed in a tertiary-care university hospital. A follow-up of the surgical effects and complications was performed. Of the 42 patients, the symptoms were relieved after operation in all except preoperative hyposmia in 2 and impaired vision in one with no obvious improvement. No complications such as nasal bleeding, olfactory hypofunction and perforation of nasal septum occurred. Follow-up data revealed good mucosal epithelization in all patients within a mean time of 8.6 weeks. Endoscopic sinus reexamination demonstrated that the sphenoid sinus orifice was well opened, and no cases of sphenoid sinus orifice closure were observed. Expanding bilateral sphenoid sinus plasty, with advantages of clearly exposed surgical field, full opening of the sinus cavity, high surgical safety, short epithelialization time and intuitionistic postoperative follow-up, demonstrated great promise for greater use in the treatment of sphenoid sinus diseases in the future.
