Clustering CRSwNP Patients for Predicting Uncontrolled Outcomes Based on Clinical Features.
Article in Allergy, asthma & immunology research, 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
purposeChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is highly complex and heterogeneous. Many patients still respond poorly to current medications that combine with surgical treatment strategies, resulting in uncontrolled outcomes. However, identifying uncontrolled CRSwNP remains challenging. We aimed to develop an effective predictive procedure to assess uncontrolled CRSwNP based on clinical features.
methodsThe clinical features of 952 adult CRSwNP patients were subjected to a decision tree analysis, with the uncontrolled outcome at follow-up considered the positive predictive event.
resultsA predictive procedure was developed to categorized CRSwNP patients into 6 clusters with different uncontrolled rates. classification indicators were determined as the total computed tomography (CT) scores and age, as well as tissue and blood eosinophil counts . The uncontrolled rates in Clusters 1-6 were 2.75%, 12.31%, 21.28%, 33.16%, 13.54%, and 38.27%, respectively. Additionally, Cluster 1 patients had the lowest tissue and blood eosinophil count and ratio, and the lowest total CT score. Cluster 3 patients had the highest tissue eosinophil count and ratio. Cluster 5 patients >2-fold tissue eosinophil count and ratio than Cluster 2 patients. Cluster 6 patients had the highest value for blood eosinophil count and ratio, total CT score, and endoscopic score. After surgery, the primary disturbing symptoms were nasal congestion (11.01% in Cluster 1 patients and 22.31% in Cluster 2 patients), rhinorrhea/postnasal drip (27.66% in Cluster 3 patients), and olfactory dysfunction (43.68%, 26.56%, and 50.62% in Clusters 4-6 patients, respectively).
conclusionsThe decision tree constructed from the total CT scores, tissue and blood eosinophil counts, and age can generate an effective predictive procedure to guide the identification of uncontrolled CRSwNP.
