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
Objective This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the multi-line tension-reduction technique in the surgical correction of a C-shaped nasal septum deviation. Methods This study included patients diagnosed with a C-shaped nasal septum deviation who underwent nasal septum correction surgery. Participants were divided into two groups: an observation group, in which the multi-line tension-reduction technique was applied, and a control group, in which traditional surgical methods were used. The following parameters were compared between the two groups: operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain intensity (assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS)), improvement in nasal ventilation (measured using a nasal resistance meter), and complication rate. Results In the observation group, the mean operation time was 35.22 ± 5.48 minutes and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 10.53 ± 4.07 mL, both of which were significantly lower than those in the control group (t = 7.84, 16.215; P < 0.05). The postoperative pain intensity, as assessed by VAS scores at 24, 48, and 72 hours, was 5.23 ± 1.23, 2.48 ± 1.09, and 0.68 ± 0.76 points, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those in the control group (t = 8.11, 11.80, 8.383; P < 0.05). The complication rate in the observation group was 2.5%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (χ² = 3.97; P < 0.05). Nasal ventilation resistance values at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-operation were 0.87 ± 0.12, 0.66 ± 0.16, 0.64 ± 0.13, and 0.61 ± 0.14, respectively, all of which were significantly lower than those in the control group (t = 9.221, 9.477, 8.923, 7.212; P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the multi-line tension-reduction technique significantly outperformed traditional surgical methods in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative pain intensity, nasal ventilation improvement, and complication rate. Conclusion The application of the multi-line tension-reduction technique in the surgical correction of a C-shaped nasal septum deviation exhibits substantial advantages such as reduced operation time, minimized intraoperative blood loss, attenuated postoperative pain, improved recovery of nasal ventilation function, and a significantly lower complication rate.
