Radiographic Association of Maxillary Sinus Volume in Patients with Deviated Nasal Septum: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 nasal septum, composed of bone and cartilage, maintains nasal alignment and airflow. Deviation, common but potentially problematic, can lead to symptoms like congestion and sinusitis. Maxillary sinus, a key paranasal sinus, influences airflow and drainage. Nasal septum deviation can alter maxillary sinus volume, affecting airflow dynamics and drainage. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and CT imaging are essential for assessing these conditions accurately, providing detailed 3D images and aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. The study aims to review the radiographic association of maxillary sinus volume in patients with deviated nasal septum. The present review has been registered with PROSPERO-An international prospective register of systematic review CRD42023467988. Eligibility criteria: Studies from 2013 to 2022, in English, on maxillary sinus volume in deviated nasal septum patients. Exclusions: Animal studies, case reports, non-English articles. The Meta-analysis found that consistent association between nasal septum deviation and reduced maxillary sinus volume and no publication bias. The radiographic association of maxillary sinus volume in patients with deviated nasal septum was found to be statistically meaningful.
