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

Background: Biofilm has been identified as the contributing factor for refractory chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP). Nasal douching using baby shampoo was thought to be effective in patients with CRSwNP. We aimed to study the Methods: Sixty nasal polyps taken from patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were sent for histopathological examination using haematoxylin and eosin staining. Another portion of the same samples was sent for tissue culture and tissue culture plate assay to identify Results: The prevalence of biofilm in patients with CRSwNP is 21.7%. Thirteen samples were positive for biofilm; Conclusion: In conclusion, diluted 1% baby shampoo is an effective treatment in the reduction of biofilm for CRSwNP.
