Women suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis in Norway are more likely to take sick leave.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) decreases the quality of life and affects the working life of sufferers. There is a scarcity of studies of how CRS affects sick leave at the population level, particularly for women. MATERIALS AND
methodsData from questionnaires were collected in Telemark, Norway in 2013 (N = 15,484) and again in 2018 (N = 13,966). Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for having sick leave in the last 12 months, adjusted for sex, asthma, smoking and age, were calculated, as well as the relationship to occupational groups. Comparisons were made between women and men.
resultsSubjects with CRS had 64% increased odds for taking sick leave compared to subjects without CRS (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.45-1.85) in 2013, with similar results in 2018 (OR 1.60, 95% CI 1.41-1.81). Women with CRS were almost twice as likely to take sick leave than men with CRS (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.56-2.46) in 2013. Sick leave was more common in subjects with CRS in some occupational groups.
conclusionCRS is a chronic and debilitating disease that appears to affect sick leave on a population level, with women being more affected than men. Optimised treatment for CRS might reduce sick leave and associated costs.
