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

This study aimed at comparing the anesthetic efficacy of lidocaine injection versus pledgets soaked in lidocaine and epinephrine during radiosurgery of inferior turbinates. The study prospectively enrolled 120 outbound patients, who were randomly assigned to group 1 -anaesthesia with tampon soaked in lidocaine and adrenaline- or group 2 -anesthesia with tampon followed by lidocaine and adrenaline injection. The following parameters were evaluated by a visual analogue scale 1 h after surgery: pain, anxiety, chocking sensation and difficulty swallowing. Nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, headache and inferior turbinate size were evaluated preoperatively (T0), after 1 (T1), 2 (T2) and 3 months (T3) to surgery. The data collected were analyzed by statistic tests. Group 1 showed lesser pain than group 2 during the procedure (
