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

Choanal atresia or stenosis (CA/S), whether congenital or acquired, is a rare but clinically significant condition characterized by the obstruction of the posterior nasal aperture. While congenital bilateral choanal atresia (CA) poses an immediate life-threatening risk in neonates due to obligate nasal breathing, unilateral CA may go unnoticed for several years. Acquired forms-particularly post-radiation-are increasingly recognized for their morbidity and impact on quality of life. We present five cases of CA having varied presentation from congenital non syndromic unilateral/bilateral CA to syndromic bilateral CA along with acquired cases of CA post radiotherapy for head and neck malignancies. This case series combines our experience with both congenital and acquired types of choanal atresia, offering a unique comparative perspective on their presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management.
