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

purposeChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has an impact on health related quality of life (HRQOL). The objective of this study was to examine generic and disease specific HRQOL and symptoms in CRS patients before and 6 months after sinus surgery.

methodsThis prospective, observational study consisted of 30 patients with chronic sinusitis. Generic and disease specific HRQOL were measured using the Short Form Health Survey (SF 36) and Sino Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT 22).

resultsThe results revealed that chronic sinusitis has a significant impact on a person's quality of life reflected in the vitality, mental health, social activities, physical pain and perceived health status of patients also a positive correlation emerged between functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and improvement not only in symptomatology but also overall quality of life.

conclusionsFESS turns out to be a useful and necessary intervention for the improvement of symptomatology related to chronic sinusitis but also for the improvement of the quality of life of individuals who appear to be severely affected by the condition.
