Clinical Practice and Outcome of Septoplasty-A Retrospective Study of 11,714 Surgeries in Sweden 2014-2023.

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
Objectives: Although septoplasty is frequently performed in patients with nasal obstruction, studies on clinical practice and real-life outcomes are sparse. This study aimed to describe the clinical practice, characteristics of septoplasty patients, patient-reported outcomes and complications, as well as predictors for a successful outcome in a comprehensive national longitudinal database. Methods: All patients, > 18 years of age, registered in the Swedish Quality Register for Septoplasty (SQRS) between 2014 and 2023 were included in the study ( Results: Clinical practice was influenced by the surgical unit. A successful outcome was reported in 59.9% of the patients. Predictors for a successful outcome were higher age, more recent surgery, unilateral subjective nasal obstruction, no nighttime nasal obstruction, and no smoking. Almost one in four patients reported a chronic complication from surgery after 12 months. Conclusion: There is an unwarranted diversity in Swedish septoplasty practice, which illustrates a lack of knowledge of best practices. The patient-reported outcome, where only six of 10 patients had no or mild nasal obstruction at follow-up, indicates room for improvement. Level of Evidence: 4.
