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

Congenital abnormality of the nasal cavities called choanal atresia is characterized by a loss of patency at the posterior extremities of one or both nasal canals. It is the most frequent congenital nasal cavity abnormality. A third of cases with choanal atresia occur bilaterally, and due to respiratory difficulty in the newborn period, it is almost always diagnosed. Bilateral choanal atresia has rarely been identified in adults and is very uncommon. We describe the case of an adolescent girl who suffered from bilateral choanal atresia after presenting with persistent nasal congestion, snoring, and an inability to breathe through her nose. To restore the choanal patency, she underwent bilateral transnasal endoscopic choanoplasty.
