Trends and complications in functional endoscopic sinus surgery and balloon sinuplasty: A TriNetX database analysis.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Objectives: Balloon sinuplasty (BSP) and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) have undergone changes in utilization over time. This study investigates national trends in BSP and FESS and postoperative outcomes over the last decade as well as the impact of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) on these trends. Methods: The TriNetX database was queried for patients undergoing either FESS or BSP from 1/1/2011 to 5/4/2024. Data were collected on patient demographics, diagnoses, and postoperative outcomes. Results: A total of 1738 patients underwent BSP and 90,311 underwent FESS. A greater proportion of FESS patients had diabetes ( Conclusion: Overall, BSP and FESS surgical volume have steadily increased over time with a drastic reduction following the COVID-19 pandemic. BSP and FESS carry different complication profiles emphasizing the importance of patient selection and preoperative counseling. Level of Evidence: Level 4.
