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

Introduction: The histopathologic study of nasal polyps establishes endotype features of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). A tissular eosinophil count greater than 10 per high power field (HPF) classifies this condition as type 2 inflammation. Blood and mucosal eosinophils are suggested as biomarkers of severity and control of CRS. Additionally, a tissular eosinophil count greater than 55 per HPF has been related to a high risk of recurrence in the Asian population. Our study aims to determine whether tissue eosinophil count is associated with the control, severity, and recurrence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP). Methods: An observational study of patients with CRSwNP who underwent nasal mucosa biopsy was conducted between June 2021 and November 2023. Histopathologic features, asthma control, CRSwNP control and severity according to the POLINA consensus, quality of life parameters, recurrence of CRSwNP, and laboratory markers were recorded and compared with the tissular eosinophil count. Results: A total of 108 cases were included. The majority (70.4%) had concomitant asthma, with 31.5% of the cases having well-controlled disease. Most patients had uncontrolled (57.4%) and severe (62%) CRSwNP. Fifty-four cases underwent surgery and 43.5% experienced recurrence. More than half had a SNOT-22 score greater than 50 points. Eighty-one percent of patients had a tissular eosinophil count greater than 10 per HPF, and 60.2% had blood eosinophilia greater than Conclusion: Tissue eosinophil levels were not a marker of control, severity, and recurrence of CRSwNP in our data. Blood eosinophil levels, however, were a marker of CRSwNP control and severity.
