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

Isolated sphenoid sinus disease (ISSD) is a rare condition that accounts for roughly 3% of all sinusitis cases. ISSD is predominantly caused by infectious and inflammation processes, with underlying fungal pathologies. This case series aims to illustrate the endonasal endoscopic management of different isolated sphenoid fungal pathologies. We described four distinct case presentations of ISSD at a tertiary hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. These cases included isolated sphenoid fungal ball, allergic fungal sinusitis, and acute invasive fungal sinusitis. The management of isolated sphenoid fungal pathologies differs depending on the type of the disease necessitating early identification and adequate treatment. The endonasal endoscopic approach is successful with minimal complications and favorable outcomes.
