The Factors Related to the Time for Sinus Debridement after Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery - A Retrospective Study.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Post-operative care after functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is essential for managing the long-term success of chronic rhinosinusitis. Post-operative sinus debridement promotes proper wound healing, but the procedure can be accompanied by discomfort and pain. Hence, we analysed the clinical factors related to sinus debridement time after FESS. Materials and Methods: We evaluated retrospectively the clinical factors affecting the time taken for post-operative sinus debridement on the first visit after the discharge. We reviewed 101 patients who underwent FESS at our hospital by the same surgeon and extracted patient information. The time for post-operative sinus debridement at the first outpatient clinic was measured. Results: The days of putting the cotton ball in the operated nostril were negatively associated with sinus debridement time (coefficient - -16.4 ± 5.7 seconds/day, Discussion: We recommend the use of a cotton ball in the nostril after FESS because it shortens the sinus debridement time. Placing cotton balls in the nostril helps to maintain a humid wound environment and reduce crusting, leading to easier sinus debridement and better wound healing.
