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
Aims: Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is one of the most common structural abnormalities contributing to nasal obstruction, which significantly affects patients' quality of life. Septoplasty is the surgical procedure of choice to correct NSD. Traditionally performed via an open approach, endoscopic septoplasty has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative. However, there remains ongoing debate regarding the comparative effectiveness, patient satisfaction, and postoperative outcomes of these two techniques. This study aimed to compare the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of conventional versus endoscopic septoplasty using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22)questionnaires. Methods: A prospective, comparative study was conducted on 120 adult patients (60 undergoing conventional septoplasty and 60 undergoing endoscopic septoplasty) with symptomatic NSD. The NOSE and SNOT-22 questionnaires were administered preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Data analysis included comparisons of symptom scores, complication rates, and correlation with demographic factors. Results: Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in NOSE and SNOT-22 scores at all postoperative follow-up points compared to baseline ( Conclusion: Both conventional and endoscopic septoplasty lead to significant improvements in nasal obstruction and related sinonasal symptoms as measured by NOSE and SNOT-22. Endoscopic septoplasty may offer additional benefits in terms of reduced complication rates and improved patient satisfaction, although conventional septoplasty remains a viable and effective option for correcting NSD. Further larger-scale, long-term studies are suggested to confirm these findings and optimize surgical decision-making.
