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

purpose of reviewThere is an incomplete understanding regarding the extent of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) in managing chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and its effect on outcomes. This study aimed to assess and compare limited sinus surgery, full-house, extended and radical ESS for optimizing CRS outcomes. RECENT

findingsAn online search in adherence with PRISMA guidelines was performed. Data were pooled for meta-analysis. Forty-six articles met inclusion criteria. Full-house ESS yielded greater improvements in SNOT-22 and endoscopy scores over limited ESS. Radical ESS improved nasal symptoms and reduced disease recurrence more than full house ESS, while extended ESS decreased revision ESS rates when compared to full-house ESS. Total ethmoidectomy reduced SNOT-22 scores more than limited ethmoidectomy. There was no difference in perioperative complications for all extents of ESS. When compared to limited ESS, full-house ESS yielded better patient symptom outcomes. Radical ESS demonstrated even greater reductions in nasal symptoms, while extended ESS additionally decreased revision surgery rates. Thus, in general, greater extent of ESS leads to better outcomes, while all extents of ESS are relatively safe.
