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

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate whether concha bullosa (CB) and nasal septum pneumatization (NSP) have an impact on nasal septum deviation (NSD) and to determine the prevalence of CB and NSP in a subgroup of the Turkish population in the Mediterranean region. Materials and methods: CBCT images of 230 patients were evaluated retrospectively for the presence of CB, NSP and NSD. CB was defined as the presence of any size of pneumatization within the superior, middle, or inferior turbinate. CB laterality, NSP, NSD, age and gender were also recorded. Data analysis was performed with SPSS. Statistical significance was considered to be p < 0.05. Results: 66.5 % of the patients had at least one CB, 59.1% of the patients had NSP and 50% of the patients had NSD. While there was no significant difference between the prevalence of concha bullosa and nasal septum pneumatization and gender, there was a significant difference between the prevalence of nasal septum pneumatization and age (p = 0.026). There was no relationship between NSD and CB and NSP. Conclusion: Despite the hypothesis that CB and NSP impact NSD, this study indicates that there is no relationship between NSD and CB/NSP.
