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
The sinonasal inverted papilloma is a benign tumor located in the sinuses lining the nasal cavity. It is a very rare tumor, representing approximately 4% of all sinonasal tumors. The incidence of sinonasal inverted papilloma is higher in males than females and is most commonly diagnosed in the 5th decade of life. Four separate cases of sinonasal pathology involving inverted papillomas are presented in this case series. The first clinical case presents a 68-year-old man with persistent nasal symptoms, who was found to have a sinonasal papilloma, which was successfully removed surgically. In the second case, a 61-year-old woman needed multiple procedures for a comprehensive surgical approach due to her inverted papilloma. Despite postoperative complications, the patient showed improvement at later follow-up appointments. In the third case, a 65-year-old man who had an inverted nasal papilloma previously needed surgery to remove and clear the tumor after developing acute sinusitis and rhinosinusitis symptoms. Last but not least, a 57-year-old male presented with nasal blockage and purulent discharge. Polyps were observed during the examination. The initial biopsy indicated the presence of chronic inflammatory polyps. However, during the operation, a first sample biopsy revealed an inflammatory polyp, but due to the appearance of the mass, the surgeon became suspicious and decided to take another biopsy. The second biopsy confirmed the presence of an inverted nasal papilloma. All things considered, these cases demonstrate clinical variability, difficulties in diagnosing, and effective management techniques related to inverted and sinonasal papillomas. The aim of this case series is to emphasize the importance of proper history taking, physical examination, and use of diagnostic tools to distinctly diagnose inverted nasal papilloma as its symptoms are similar to rhinosinusitis, especially chronic rhinosinusitis.
