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

Objective: To assess the impact of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on histopathological features and the risk of postoperative recurrence in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of CRSwNP patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery was performed. Patients were followed up for more than two years, and classified into RA and Non-RA groups, recurrent and non-recurrent groups. The influence of RA on histopathological features and the risk of CRSwNP recurrence was explored. Results: A total of 517 CRSwNP patients were finally recruited, including 78 RA patients. The RA group exhibited a higher recurrence rate, tissue eosinophil counts and percentages compared to the non-RA group (P < 0.05). Tissue eosinophil count and percentage, and the prevalence of allergic rhinitis were significantly higher in the recurrent group in compared to the non-recurrent group (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified tissue eosinophil count and percentage, RA, and allergic rhinitis as significant predictors of increased recurrence risk (P < 0.05). Both adjusted and unadjusted models affirmed RA as an independent risk factor for CRSwNP postoperative recurrence (P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves further indicated a higher recurrence risk in CRSwNP patients with RA than those without (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that RA significantly exacerbates tissue eosinophilic inflammation and independently heightens the risk of postoperative recurrence in CRSwNP patients. These insights underscore the need for tailored therapeutic strategies addressing the complex interplay between CRSwNP and RA to mitigate recurrence risks and improve clinical outcomes.
