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
Choanal atresia is a rare but the most common congenital anomaly of the nasal cavity. Bilateral choanal atresia in an elderly person is extremely rare. This condition occurs due to the persistence of the nasobuccal membrane, which should normally rupture around the 7th week of embryonic development. The only way the patient survives is if there is partial atresia in one of the sides as was present in our patient. Here, we present a case of a 69-year-old woman with bilateral choanal atresia, with the right choana being completely atretic and the left choana partially atretic, the patient underwent transnasal endoscope-guided bilateral choanoplasty and reconstruction using the crossover nasoseptal flap technique and stenting. Transnasal endoscopic choanoplasty is generally considered the treatment of choice for this condition. Restenosis is a common postoperative complication, but proper nasal douching and regular follow-up can help reduce the likelihood of restenosis.
