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

Several different surgical techniques have been tried in the handling of nasal obstruction due to posterior nasal septal deviation and septal spur. This study aims to compare the outcomes of endoscopic versus conventional septoplasty (CS) for management of such issue. A retrospective randomized study was conducted on 112 individuals who had exclusive septoplasty and had either a posterior septal deviation or a septal spur. While 53 underwent endoscopic surgery (ES), 59 of them received conventional approach. The two groups were compared regarding the preoperative clinical presentation, intraoperative characteristics (duration of surgery, blood loss, nasal packing, and septal flap tear), early postoperative care (bleeding and pain), and complications three months after surgery such as synechia, numbness, septal perforation, incomplete correction, and septal hematoma. Subjective measurements (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation [NOSE] and pain scale) were used in the evaluation. Duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, and number of patients with nasal packing were significantly lower in ES (
