Clinical Outcomes of a Modified Technique Combining Submucosal Turbinectomy and Extended Neural Targeting in Chronic Rhinitis Management.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThis study evaluated the outcomes of combining submucosal turbinectomy with extensive disruption of the pterygopalatine ganglionic efferent nerve fibers through a minimucosal incision in patients with intractable rhinitis, irrespective of their dependency on the posterior nasal nerve. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe describe an endoscopic extended neurectomy procedure performed via a minimucosal pocket. The primary outcome measures included the Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, and runny nose and nasal obstruction subdomains of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22), which were assessed pre-procedure and at 3 and 6 months post-procedure. The secondary outcomes included the incidence of adverse events and medication dependency.
resultsSix patients with rhinitis [66.7% female, 66.7% allergic rhinitis, average age: 48.17 (26-69) years] received treatment and completed a 6-month evaluation, with a mean follow-up period of 16.5 (8-30) months. The modified technique significantly reduced VAS scores from 8.67±1.21 to 0.50±0.55 (p=0.035) and TNSS from 8.83±2.40 to 1.17±0.75 (p=0.031) at three months compared to baseline. These effects were sustained at six months (p=0.0335 and p=0.0355, respectively). The severity and frequency of rhinorrhea and nasal congestion showed marked improvement, as assessed by the TNSS and SNOT-22. None of the patients experienced severe post-procedural adverse events, and all ceased medication use at the last follow-up visit.
conclusionTransturbinectomy extended neurectomy based on surgical dissection is a feasible technique and could be considered as a potential alternative to standard treatments for patients with intractable rhinitis.
