Clinical and Histological Differences Between Choanal Polyps in Children and Adults: A 15-Year Retrospective Study.

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
Choanal polyps (CPs) are benign, inflammatory, solitary lesions extending toward the junction between the nasal cavity/paranasal sinus and the nasopharynx through the choana. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and histological characteristics of CPs in children compared to adult patients. Characteristics of patients (demography, main complaints, side, localization, surgical approach, histological characteristics, accompanying chronic rhinosinusitis [CRS], association with allergic rhinitis [AR] and aspirin sensitivity, postoperative follow-up period, recurrence rates) were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were classified into children (<18 years) and adults (≥18 years). Our results suggest some clinical and histological specificities of CPs in children compared to adults. Epistaxis, oropharyngeal extension, association with AR and ipsilateral CRS, and angiomatous histological subtype of CPs are more frequent in the pediatric population. Also, the level of eosinophil infiltration of polyp tissue and recurrence rates are higher in pediatrics than in adult population.
