Predictive Modeling of Surgically Recalcitrant Chronic Rhinosinusitis Using Integrated Feature Sets.
Article in Ear, nose, & throat journal, 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
introductionChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease with variable treatment outcomes based on endotypes. Perioperative stratification of these patients remains a significant challenge. In the present study, we sought to use machine learning (ML) approaches in conjunction with clinical and inflammatory biomarker data to identify patients presenting for revision surgery as a proxy for recalcitrant disease and better understand which data types may be useful in classifying patients.
methodsSix hundred thirty-four CRS patients were included. All features were categorized into 5 sets: histopathologic markers, cytokine and chemokine markers, demographic factors, comorbidities, and medication history. Leave-one-out cross-validation was employed to train random forest (RF) classifiers separately according to each feature group.
resultsThere were 298 patients with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and 336 patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The training results of the RF model revealed that for CRSsNP patients, the combination of cytokine and chemokine markers possessed the highest predictive accuracy, while the classification accuracies of other feature groups were relatively lower. For CRSwNP patients, the combination of cytokine and chemokine markers along with eosinophil and neutrophil-related markers provided the highest classification performance. Considering all patients, the classification model obtained by jointly training multiple feature combinations demonstrated commendable performance.
conclusionIntegrating multiple clinical and inflammatory feature sets significantly enhances the predictive modeling of surgical history in CRS patients. These findings highlight the importance of multimodal data integration for improving classification performance and provide valuable insights for developing more accurate and clinically applicable ML models in CRS.
