[Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis : A retrospective analysis of therapeutic approaches in 463 patients].
Article in HNO, 2024. 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
backgroundChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a multifactorial inflammatory disease, the treatment of which has undergone significant changes in recent years. In addition to surgical approaches, topical and systemic steroids, and adaptive acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) desensitization, three specific antibodies have complemented the therapeutic portfolio since 2019.
methodsA retrospective evaluation of all patients who presented as outpatients for the first time due to CRSwNP in 2007 and 2008 (collective A) and 2017 and 2018 (collective B) was performed, up to and including June 2023.
resultsThe clinical courses of 463 patients (mean age 49.1 years, range 5-82 years; 65.9% male) were included in the analysis. Conservative treatment with nasal corticosteroids started before initial presentation was more frequent in collective B (collective A 43.9% vs. collective B 72.2%). In 278 of the 463 patients (60%; A: 62%, B: 58%), at least one operation on the nasal sinuses had been performed after initial presentation; in 101 of these patients (36.3%) recurrent polyposis (within mean follow-up of 2.4 years) required further treatment. The indication for ASA provocation/desensitization was applied less frequently in collective B, also due to a high discontinuation rate (at least 38%) of the maintenance therapy. Of the total cohort, 16 patients (3.5%; A: n = 8, B: n = 8) were meanwhile switched to antibody therapy at recurrence.
conclusionA step-by-step guideline-orientated approach is recommended in the treatment of CRSwNP. Systemic antibodies as an add-on to nasal corticosteroids are a relatively new therapeutic option for treatment-refractory CRSwNP, which reduces the indication for ASA desensitization, which is associated with a relatively high incidence of side effects and poor compliance.
