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

Rhinogenic contact point headache (RCPH) represents a diagnostic challenge due to different anatomical presentations and unstandardized imaging markers. This prospective multicenter study involving 120 patients aimed to develop and validate a CT-based imaging framework for RCPH diagnosis. High-resolution CT scans were systematically assessed for seven parameters: contact point (CP) type, contact intensity (CI), septal deviation, concha bullosa (CB) morphology, mucosal edema (ME), turbinate hypertrophy (TH), and associated anatomical variants. Results revealed CP-I (37.5%) and CP-II (22.5%) as predominant patterns, with moderate CI (45.8%) and septal deviation > 15° (71.7%) commonly observed. CB was found in 54.2% of patients, primarily bulbous type (26.7%). Interestingly, focal ME at CP was independently associated with greater pain severity in the multivariate model (
