Contemporary office-based procedures in rhinology: a narrative review of techniques, indications, and outcomes.
Review in Frontiers in allergy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: The role of office-based procedures in rhinology has expanded considerably, driven by advancements in minimally invasive techniques and a growing emphasis on value-based care. These interventions can offer effective management for selected sinonasal conditions while reducing reliance on operating room resources. Objective: To provide a comprehensive narrative review of contemporary office-based rhinologic procedures, focusing on indications, anesthetic considerations, patient selection, and safety protocols. Additionally, to share institutional experience, highlighting practical benefits in workflow optimization and patient access. Methods: A narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases for English-language articles published between [2010-2025] using the keywords: Results: The review highlights key office-based procedures, their indications, contraindications, anesthetic strategies, and safety considerations. Institutional experience demonstrated a 140% increase in office-based procedures over two years, reduced waiting times, and improved operating room efficiency, particularly for routine turbinate surgeries. Conclusion: Office-based rhinologic procedures offer safe, effective, and resource-efficient alternatives for selected patients. While current evidence and institutional experiences are promising, further research is warranted to standardize practice, evaluate long-term outcomes, and assess economic impacts across healthcare systems.
