Health Disparities in Rhinology-A Scoping Review.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis scoping review aims to systematically evaluate the existing health disparities research in rhinology, identifying key themes, gaps, and opportunities for future investigation. DATA SOURCES: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted using terms related to rhinology topics and health disparities as defined by the PROGRESS-plus framework. REVIEW
methodsThe review adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Studies were included if they were conducted in the US population and focused on health disparities in rhinology. International studies, abstracts, and studies not focused on rhinology or disparities were excluded. Independent reviewers conducted title and abstract screening, full-text reviews, and data extraction.
resultsA total of 139 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were published after 2001 (n = 134), with the majority employing cross-sectional (n = 62) or retrospective cohort designs (n = 59). Disparities related to race/ethnicity (57.6%), gender/sex (29.5%), and socioeconomic status (23.0%) were most frequently studied. Chronic rhinosinusitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma were the most researched topics. Within Kilbourne's framework, 90.6% of studies focused on detecting disparities, with fewer aimed at understanding (9.4%) and none on reducing them.
conclusionThis review explores the scope of health disparities literature in rhinology. The majority of the literature focuses on chronic rhinosinusitis and nasopharyngeal carcinoma and includes other topics to a lesser extent. Although the majority of studies focus on detecting disparities, there is a significant need for studies that seek to understand the causal mechanisms behind disparities and develop interventions to reduce them.
