Risk factors leading to the formation of intranasal synechiae (adhesions) in patients who underwent septo- and septoturbinoplasty (a retrospective cohort Study).

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
Introduction: Intranasal adhesions (synechiae) are common complications of nasal surgery. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the development of synechiae, with particular emphasis on the use of nasal septal splints. We also propose a solution to reduce the incidence of this complication in the future. Methodology: This retrospective analysis of patients ( Results: Iatrogenic intranasal synechiae occurred in 26.75% (65/243) of patients. Among patients who received nasal septal splints, synechiae occurred in 13.1%. Synechiae complicated 46.9% of the surgeries in the group without separators ( Conclusions: The use of nasal septal separators and tampons significantly reduces the risk of iatrogenic intranasal synechiae following septoplasty or septoconchoplasty, regardless of the degree of nasal septum deviation. Conversely, the use of seton gauze dressings is associated with a higher risk of developing synechiae.
