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

Granulomatous lesions in the nasal sinuses are associated with a variety of diseases, including immune disorders such as sarcoidosis, vasculitis, immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related diseases, malignant lymphomas, and microbial infections. Here, we report a rare case of fungal granuloma that occurred exclusively within the nasal septum. The patient presented to the Department of Surgery with the chief complaint of nasal obstruction associated with nasal septal deviation. A bulge was found below the right nasal septum. Initially, it was diagnosed as mucosal swelling associated with rhinitis, and surgery was performed. A granulomatous lesion with bone destruction was found under the mucosa of the nasal septum, which led to the diagnosis of fungal granulation based on postoperative pathology. Though bacterial and fungal infections of the nasal septum are occasionally observed, this is the first reported instance of a fungal granuloma confined to the nasal septum. Infection within the nasal septum, although rare, should also be considered as a differential diagnosis for morphological abnormalities of the nasal septum.
