Pyriform Aperture Enlargement Through a Rhinoplasty Approach.
Article in Aesthetic surgery journal. Open forum, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: The pyriform aperture can limit airflow in some patients. In this study, the authors describe a new surgical technique to access and modify the pyriform aperture. Objectives: Describe the technique to measure the width of the pyriform aperture and surgically enlarge the pyriform aperture using ultrasonic instrumentation. Quantify improvement in nasal airway function with pyriform aperture size and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scores. Methods: The pyriform aperture was measured intraoperatively using calipers. Preoperative and postoperative NOSE scores were compared in a retrospective analysis to examine the effects of pyriform aperture enlargement on nasal breathing. Results: On average, pyriform aperture width was enlarged by 2.9 mm ( Conclusions: The pyriform aperture can be modified through an open rhinoplasty approach, and enlargement of the pyriform aperture can improve nasal obstruction symptoms. Level of Evidence 5: (Therapeutic).
