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

Angiomatous nasal polyps (ANPs) are uncommon variants of nasal polyps, which, like their more common counterparts, are a significant and common cause of morbidity for patients, regardless of demographic variations. As a group, nasal polyps are non-neoplastic and commonly arise within the maxillary antrum, sphenoid, and ethmoid sinuses, protruding via the ostia into the nasal cavity. Their precise cause is unknown, but several factors related to genetics, local infections, family history, and environment have been implicated in their etiopathogenesis. ANPs are commonly diagnosed in the younger age group and are particularly significant because they may mimic benign and malignant vascular tumors occurring within the nasopharynx. We report a rare case of angiomatous nasal polyp in a 43-year-old Nigerian female. ANPs should be included in the differential diagnosis of mass lesions of the nasal cavity in adult patients (male or female) who present with obstructive symptoms and should be distinguished from both benign and malignant neoplastic mimics.
