Quality of Life of Patients With Nasal Obstruction Who Underwent Septoplasty: Assessed With the Glasgow Benefit Inventory.
Article in Cureus, 2023. 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
backgroundSeptoplasty is considered the definitive treatment for symptomatic patients with deviated nasal septum. Although septoplasty is a commonly successful performed surgery, it has also been found to affect patients' quality of life (QoL). The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) scale is a validated questionnaire used to assess satisfaction after treatment.
objectiveThe present study was conducted with the aim to assess the outcome of septoplasty using the GBI scale.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted among patients with chronic nasal obstruction in Dr. Sulaiman Alhabib Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to assess the outcome of septoplasty using the GBI. All patients who met the eligibility criteria were subjected to a detailed otorhinolaryngology, head and neck examination, including nasal endoscopy prior to septoplasty, followed by the distribution of a previously validated questionnaire translated into Arabic. Statistical analysis was performed using R version 3.6.3 software. Counts and percentages were used to summarize the distribution of categorical variables.
resultsA total of 75 patients were enrolled in the study initially, among which 42 patients met the eligibility criteria; 65% were male and 35% were female. Most respondents reported improvement in the total GBI score (92.5%,
conclusionWe found a positive change in the QoL among the patients after septoplasty using a validated and reliable instrument.
