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

purposeTo investigate the risk of swallowing disorders and the frequency and intensity of vocal tract symptoms in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis (CRSwNP).

methodsAdult patients diagnosed with CRSwNP presenting to the rhinology clinic of a tertiary referral center between March 2023 and March 2024, were recruited. Patients with acute or recent history of respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, pharyngitis or otitis, were excluded. The frequency and severity of nasal symptoms and their impact on quality of life was assessed using the Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). The Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) was used to evaluate the risk of swallowing disorders, and the Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale (VTDS) was used to evaluate the frequency and intensity of vocal tract symptoms.

resultsTwenty-five patients with CRSwNP and 25 controls were recruited for this study. There was a statistically significant difference in the mean EAT-10 score between the study group and control group (3.52 ± 4.68 vs.0.88 ± 1.83; p = 0.013). There was also a statistically significant difference in the mean VTDS score between the study group and control group (12.56 ± 7.9 vs. 4 ± 4.64; p < 0.001). There was a positive moderate correlation between the VTDS score and the SNOT-22 score (r = 0.595; p < 0.001).

conclusionThe study indicates that patients with CRSwNP have a higher risk for swallowing disorders and are more likely to experience vocal tract symptoms than healthy controls.
