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

backgroundAlthough phenotypic features have traditionally guided treatment in chronic rhinosinusitis, recent research has favored categorization on the basis of inflammatory endotype. However, the impact of endotypic differeces on clinical outcomes remains largely unknown.

objectiveWe sought to compare disease trajectory, primarily time-to-polyp recurrence, between chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) endotypes.

methodsSamples were obtained from patients with CRSwNP undergoing surgery between 2015 and 2023, and cytokine levels were measured using a multiplex bead assay. Principal-component analysis followed by hierarchical cluster analysis was used to identify endotype clusters. Clinical outcomes were subsequently compared between clusters.

resultsSix CRSwNP disease clusters were identified among the 269 included patients. Cluster 1 (46.5%) was characterized by relatively low inflammation. Cluster 4 (13.3%) and cluster 6 (7.1%) also exhibited low inflammation but with elevated levels of IL-12/IL-21 and CCL5, respectively. Cluster 2 (4.5%) represented a mixed type 1/3 inflammatory endotype (IFN-γ

conclusionsThe study highlights the heterogeneous nature of CRSwNP and differences in disease trajectory between endotypes, notably that patients with mixed type 1 and type 3 inflammation demonstrate more recalcitrant disease. These findings suggest that therapies beyond traditional type 2 inflammation treatments may be needed to effectively reduce CRSwNP disease recurrence.
