Risk factors of acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis in children: a case control study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAcute bacterial paranasal sinusitis is a common infection in children. The aim of this study was to analyze risk factors associated with acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis in children.
methodsChildren aged 4 to 18 years were enrolled and received questionnaire survey from January 2020 to December 2021. Participants with a diagnosis of acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis received antibiotic treatment and were followed to evaluate the treatment outcome.
resultsA total of 228 participants was enrolled and divided to 3 groups, including acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis, allergic rhinitis without acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis and control group. Children having acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis were significantly younger than those who did not have (p = 0.02). Children with acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis had significantly higher rates of residential incense burning every day (p = 0.01) and antibiotic use within three months (p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that incense burning every day (aOR 2.45 [95% CI 1.25, 4.80], p < 0.001) and antibiotic use within three months (aOR 8.04 [95% CI 3.92, 16.50], p < 0.001) were significant risk factors of acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis. Nose blowing did not predispose to acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis, and did correlate with a favorable treatment response. Nasal irrigation was not beneficial to antibiotic treatment response of sinusitis.
conclusionExposure to residential incense and antibiotic use within three months were significant risk factors for acute bacterial paranasal sinusitis in children. Nose blowing exhibited no detrimental effect, while nasal irrigation showed no significant beneficial effect on either the occurrence or treatment outcome.
