Sensory Changes Following the Lateral Nasal Wall Surgery: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. 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
The objective of this study was to analyze the sensory changes reported by patients after lateral nasal wall surgery and to assess the prevalence and severity of sensory disturbances, the factors that influence their occurrence, and their impact on patients' quality of life. The methodology adopted in this study was PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis), as well as the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes) strategy, which assisted in the development of the study's objectives. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, among all the articles retrieved in the searched databases (PubMed and Google Scholar), we selected 15 articles, considered to be pertinent and relevant to the present investigation. The results demonstrated that there are several sensory disturbances in patients, highlighting the importance of tailoring the best surgical technique to tackle the problem and, consequently, improve patients' quality of life. Overall, all 15 articles demonstrated important outcomes for patients' health, contributing to their recovery and changing their initial status. No consensus emerges regarding the most suitable surgical technique, as has been established by previous literature. In conclusion, the revision showed that sensory changes reported by patients are congruent with the previously identified sensory disturbances. Surgical procedures must be tailored by surgeons precisely to treat the previously identified sensory disturbances, thus contributing to the increase in patients' quality of life.
