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
purposeAcute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is a common pediatric disorder. When complications occur, it can lead to various morbidities. Therefore, easily accessible and inexpensive markers are needed to predict the development of complications, treatment, and clinical course of acute rhinosinusitis. We aimed to investigate the predictive ability of the various inflammatory markers in pediatric complicated ARS patients.
methodsThe data of 79 pediatric patients with complicated ARS and 116 pediatric patients with uncomplicated ARS were analyzed retrospectively. The complete blood count and C-reactive protein (CRP) test results at the time of diagnosis were recorded. Also, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed.
resultsThe complicated ARS group consisted of 65 (82.3%) patients with preseptal cellulitis, 4 (5.1%) with orbital cellulitis, 5 (6.3%) with subperiosteal abscess, and 5 (6.3%) with orbital abscess complications. At the time of initial diagnosis, there was a significant difference in WBC, NLR, CRP, %LUC, SII and SIRI values between complicated ARS and uncomplicated ARS patient groups (p < 0.05). In terms of predictive power, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.805 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.74-0.87, p < 0.001) for CRP, 0.62 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54-0.7, p = 0.004) for systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and 0.67 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.6-0.75, p < 0.001) for systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI).
conclusionIn conclusion, our study shows that inflammatory markers can be helpful in the evaluation of pediatric rhinosinusitis patients. CRP, SII and SIRI were adequate markers of inflammation to predict the development of complications in patients with pediatric rhinosinusitis.
