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

purpose of reviewChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogenous disease with a significant impact on patient quality of life and a substantial economic burden. CRS is associated with several systemic inflammatory conditions. We provide an updated review of CRS comorbidities as a springboard for future comorbidity mapping and potential therapeutics. RECENT

findingsThe link between environmental allergies and CRS is most evident for central compartment atopic disease (CCAD) and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) subtypes but remains inconclusive for CRS overall. The association between asthma and CRS, reinforced by the unified airway theory, is evidenced by their response to similar biologic therapies. Another lower respiratory tract disease, COPD, has up to a 50% co-occurrence with CRS and warrants careful screening and treatment. Eosinophilic esophagitis and CRS share eosinophilic inflammation in different sites, meriting further research. Obesity not only presents physiological challenges but also correlates with a more severe subset of CRS. Diabetes mellitus is associated with CRSwNP, possibly secondary to therapeutics with steroids. Autoimmunity may contribute to nasal polyp formation through cytokines such as B-cell activating factor (BAFF), offering potential for future therapeutics.  This review illustrates the need to employ a macroscopic approach in clinical decision making and treatment of CRS. Comorbidities may contribute to an overall proinflammatory state, magnify severity of symptoms, be a source of treatment resistance, and even an opportunity for future therapeutics.
