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

objectivesThe primary objective of our study was to survey ENT surgeons who perform functional endoscopic sinus surgery in the UK regarding their post-sinus surgery practices.

methodA 28-item questionnaire on post-functional endoscopic sinus surgery practices was distributed electronically to ENT UK members specialising in rhinology.

resultsNinety (90 per cent) surgeons prescribe saline nasal irrigation post-functional endoscopic sinus surgery but administration timing and methods vary. Following functional endoscopic sinus surgery, 17.7 per cent (

conclusionOur study highlights homogeneous, evidence-based practices post-functional endoscopic sinus surgery from UK-based specialists, specifically in the use of saline irrigation and intranasal corticosteroids. However, our cohort displayed significant heterogeneity regarding oral antibiotics, oral steroids, and other specific aspects of post-operative care.
