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

objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic minimally invasive surgery (EMIS) in improving olfactory function and quality of life among patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).

methodsA cohort of 117 patients diagnosed with CRSwNP between January 2020 and June 2024 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were assigned to either a control group (n=50, treated with conventional endoscopic sinus surgery [ESS]) or a research group (n=67, treated with EMIS). Comprehensive assessments were conducted, including treatment efficacy, safety profile, olfactory function, nasal ventilation (airway resistance), nasal status, stress biomarkers, and quality of life.

resultsCompared to the control group, the research group showed significantly better outcomes in terms of: (1) overall therapeutic efficacy, (2) postoperative safety profile (lower postoperative complication rates), (3) olfactory function recovery, (4) nasal ventilation and functional status, (5) quality of life improvement, and (6) reduced surgical stress response (all P<0.05).

conclusionEMIS significantly improves olfactory function and quality of life in patients with CRSwNP, offering clinical advantages over conventional ESS and supporting its broader clinical application.
