Relationship between clinical examination findings and objective nasal patency measures in structural nasal obstruction: a systematic review.
Article in The Journal of laryngology and otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe relationship between clinical examination findings and objective nasal patency measures in structural nasal obstruction remains uncertain. This review aims to explore the relationship between clinical nasal examination findings and objective nasal patency measures using acoustic rhinometry, peak nasal inspiratory flow, rhinomanometry and rhinospirometry.
methodsQualitative systematic review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 statement.
resultsA total of 17 articles were included in the systematic review. Several studies showed a positive relationship between objective nasal patency measures and clinical nasal examination findings, however evidence in the literature is limited and confined to cohort studies. Objective nasal patency measures using acoustic rhinometry, rhinomanometry and rhinospirometry assessment correlate positively in severe anterior septal deviation but its role in assessing middle/posterior and mild/moderate septal deviation in isolation remains uncertain. There is limited evidence in the literature to assess the relationship between peak nasal inspiratory flow and clinical examination findings.
