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: Several studies have explored the use of septal extension grafts (SEGs). However, there is a lack of research specifically addressing the bilateral application of this technique. The present retrospective study presented the surgical outcomes of the bilateral SEG at a single center in Saudi Arabia. Methods: The present study was a retrospective cohort study that retrieved data from adult patients who underwent septorhinoplasty with the bilateral SEG technique between January 2015 and December 2022 at a single center in Saudi Arabia. The retrieved data included the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) scores and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scores. Results: The study included 58 patients with a mean age of 30.8 ± 7.4 years. The most frequent intraoperative findings were deviated nasal septum (62.1%), nasal hump (58.6%), and down rotation (62.1%). The ROE questionnaire results showed statistically significant improvements in all constituents ( Conclusions: Bilateral SEG in septorhinoplasty has demonstrated promising results in improving both functional and aesthetic outcomes. The results of this retrospective study showed high patient satisfaction rates and a low incidence of postoperative complications.
