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

Introduction Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) presents with different clinical patterns with variable responses to treatment. Clear criteria for specifying disease severity and assessing symptom control are lacking in the current literature. We aimed to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the chronic rhinosinusitis patient-reported outcomes (CRS-PRO), creating a Portuguese version to use as a routine questionnaire in the evaluation of patients with CRS. Methods The CRS-PRO questionnaire was translated according to the recommendations of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) through a three-step procedure including a backward translation. Results After translation completion, the questionnaire was evaluated in 40 participants (23 men) who completed the questionnaire on two separate occasions in 1.4 minutes (SD 0.615). Twenty of them were patients with CRS (60% with polyps), and the other 20 were healthy subjects who were considered a control group. The average age of the study participants was 43 years old (SD 16). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values for the CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) group ranged from 0.65 to 0.89, indicating good to excellent reliability across the 12 items. All ICC values were statistically significant (p < 0.01). Conclusion This study presents the Portuguese version of the CRS-PRO questionnaire, an adapted, validated, and well-accepted instrument for evaluating CRS symptoms in the Portuguese-speaking population.
