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

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may share pathophysiological mechanisms with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), but its impact on CRS remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the associations between RA and CRS disease severity, as well as postoperative recurrence risk. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on CRS patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Patients were divided into subgroups based on the presence of RA and gender. CRS patients were followed up for three years and categorized into non-recurrent and recurrent groups. Binary logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the impact of RA on the risk of postoperative recurrence in CRS. Results: Among 568 CRS patients, 169 experienced recurrence after three years. The RA group showed a significantly higher recurrence rate than the non-RA group in both genders (P < 0.05). In addition, RA patients had younger age, higher body mass index, higher prevalence of nasal polyps, and higher baseline VAS, Lund-Kennedy, and Lund-Mackay scores. At three-year follow-up, the RA group demonstrated greater improvements in VAS and Lund-Kennedy scores (P < 0.05). Logistic regression identified RA, allergic rhinitis, and asthma as independent risk factors for CRS recurrence (P < 0.05). Unadjusted and adjusted analysis highlighted RA as an independent predictor in males and females. Kaplan-Meier analysis further revealed that RA was associated with a significantly higher risk of postoperative CRS recurrence (P < 0.05). Conclusion: RA might aggravate the disease severity and affect the prognosis of CRS. Additionally, RA may be a potential risk factor for postoperative recurrence of CRS, regardless of gender.
