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
Introduction: Rhinosinusitis disability index (RSDI) questionnaire is used to assess the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) from the patient's perspective. The severity of CRS can be measured objectively with the endoscope and computed tomogram (CT) using the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score and Mackay-Lund scores respectively. The objective of the study is to evaluate whether baseline RSDI and Lund-Kennedy (LK) endoscopy scoring can help predict the Mackay-Lund CT (MKLCT) scores after medical treatment in patients with CRS. Methodology: This is a prospective, observational study, carried out from 1st October 2017 to 30th September 2019 in the ENT out- patient department at a tertiary hospital in Northern India. 90 patients diagnosed with CRS were enrolled consecutively in the study. RSDI questionnaire was filled out for all the participants. They all underwent a diagnostic endoscopy and CRS was graded according to the Lund-Kennedy endoscopic scores. All participants were given medical treatment. Patients underwent CT of the paranasal sinuses after medical treatment and the MLKCT scores were calculated. The baseline RSDI and Lund-Kennedy scores were correlated with the MKLCT scores using Spearman's Rank correlation tests. The diagnostic ability of the RSDI and LK endoscopy scores to predict the least MKLCT scores was compared using the receiver operator characteristics curves (ROC). Results: A statistically significant correlation was seen with LK endoscopy scores and MKLCT scores ( Conclusion: Statistically significant ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-024-04708-6.
