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 to evaluate the efficacies of endoscopic vidian neurectomy (VN) and highly selective vidian neurectomy (HSVN) for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) and vasomotor rhinitis (VMR). All AR and VMR patients were divided into two groups, Group VN and Group HSVN. The efficacy evaluation methods were visual analog scale (VAS), rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ), and medication score. The efficacy evaluations were used to assess patient rhinitis symptoms, quality of life and drug usage. The time points of follow-up period were preoperative, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years post operation. By analyzing pre- and postoperative VAS, medication score and RQLQ score, the results showed that rhinitis symptoms and quality of life in both VN and HSVN groups were significantly improved at 3 years, and the rate of improvement decreased gradually with time. Post operation, there were no significant differences in VAS and medication scores between the VN and HSVN groups. With respect to RQLQ, postoperative 2 years and 3 years improvements in sleep disorders, non-nasal symptoms and eye symptoms were significantly greater in the HSVN group than in the VN group. Improvements in rhinitis symptoms and quality of life in AR and VMR were sustained by VN and HSVN until 3 years post operation, with greater quality of life improvements in the HSVN group.
