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

Nasal polyps are benign inflammatory growth of sinonasal mucosa, often associated with chronic rhinosinusitis. This condition prevalent among adults, significantly impacts the quality of life. Eosinophil plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis. Hence, this study was carried out to compare the relationship between tissue eosinophilia and radiological findings in nasal polyposis. This observational study was conducted at a tertiary care centre, involving 30 patients with nasal polyposis underwent endoscopic sinus surgery. All patients underwent pre operative CT scan and Lund MacKay score were calculated. Excised polyp tissues were examined, and eosinophil count was calculated per high power field (400 X). Eosinophil count was categorized as low (≤ 10 E/HPF) and high (> 10 E/HPF). The study population had a mean age of 41.65 ± 11.43 years, with a male predominance (80%). Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (26.67%). The mean Lund MacKay score was 18.03 ± 4.3 with the majority of patients (60%) had Lund-Mackay scores between 17-24, indicating significant sinus involvement. Patients with higher eosinophil counts (> 10 E/HPF) showed more severe disease, reflected by higher Lund-Mackay scores (
