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

Objective: To study the efficacy of coblation in the endoscopic surgery of sinonasal and skull base masses. Study Design: Prospective Interventional Study. Method: 100 patients with signs and symptoms of nasal obstruction were enrolled for 14 months. On the basis of diagnosis they underwent endoscopic sinus surgery using coblator and their intra-operative blood loss, operation time, post-operative pain threshold using VAS(Visual analogue scale) were enlisted. Result: 80% had Sinonasal polyp followed by Inverted papilloma in 8%, Angiofibroma in 5%, Hemangioma in 3%, Esthesioneuroblastoma in 2% and Rhinosporidiosis in 2%. The Minimum blood loss was 50 ml and Maximum was 600 ml. 30% patients had no pain, 60% had Mild pain and 10% had Moderate pain post procedure. Mean Operation time was 112.86 min. Conclusion: Coblation has proven to have reduced operation time, blood loss and faster wound healing. It has now established itself as an essential tool for advance tumours in nasal surgeries.
