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

backgroundThe chronic rhinosinusitis patient-reported outcome (CRS-PRO) is a newly developed, disease-specific questionnaire designed for patients with CRS. This study focused on translating the CRS-PRO into Arabic, conducting cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the questionnaire, and assessing its reliability and validity.

methodsThis prospective study involved 112 patients divided into CRS, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and control groups. Participants completed the questionnaire at enrollment and again after one month. The Arabic version of the CRS-PRO was created following the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research guidelines for translation and cross-cultural adaptation.

resultsThis study included 74 males (66.1%) and 38 females (33.9%), with an average age of 37.4 ± 14.8 years. The Arabic CRS-PRO questionnaire has high internal consistency and reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.97). It also has strong discriminant validity in distinguishing between groups (ANOVA,

conclusionsThe Arabic version of the CRS-PRO proved simple, reliable, and valid. It showed high internal consistency, reliability, and strong discriminant validity in distinguishing between healthy individuals, CRS patients, and those pre- and post-FESS.
