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

The present study compared middle turbinate resection versus its preservation in patients with chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis undergoing FESS. In this clinical trial study, 105 patients with chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery were involved. In the study group, patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery along with partial middle turbinate resection, while in the control group only endoscopic sinus surgery was performed. SNOT-22 test results (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test) and CT scan of paranasal sinuses results (Lund- Mackay), quality of life, the smell status and nasal congestion were recorded before the operation and then 6 months after the surgery. The average quality of life score did not have a statistically significant difference between the two groups (
