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

Introduction: Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is frequently associated with greater inflammation, poorer prognosis, and a high recurrence rate after sinus surgery. Objective: This study evaluated the clinical and imaging characteristics of eosinophilic CRSwNP in patients aged 12-17. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 139 patients aged 12-17 with bilateral CRSwNP. Clinical characteristics, computed tomography (CT) features, tissue eosinophil counts, and eosinophil activity were evaluated. Results: Twenty-three (16.5%) patients had recurrent nasal polyps that required revision surgery. Patients requiring revision surgery had higher tissue eosinophil infiltration in the sinus mucosa than those not requiring revision surgery. The optimal cut-off value to distinguish the need for revision surgery was a tissue eosinophil count > 21.5/high-power field determined by the receiver operating characteristic curve. The Lund-Mackay and olfactory cleft opacification scores on CT images were significant predictors of tissue eosinophil count in the univariate analysis, and only olfactory opacification scores remained statistically significant in the multivariate analysis. Conclusion: This study revealed that the CT feature of the olfactory cleft opacification score could be a significant characteristic of eosinophilic CRSwNP in adolescents.
