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

backgroundChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) significantly impairs the quality of life, and disease control is now considered the primary treatment goal. Although patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as the 22-item Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and CRS-PRO are widely used, their utility in predicting long-term postoperative disease control remains limited.

methodsThis prospective follow-up study aimed to evaluate postoperative recovery and identify the predictors of suboptimal disease control in patients with CRSwNP by integrating preoperative PROMs with objective clinical features. A total of 102 patients with CRSwNP undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) were enrolled, of whom 89 completed at least 12 months of follow-up. Preoperative and postoperative PROMs were compared across disease control groups classified based on the European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps 2020 criteria. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was applied to select objective clinical predictors, which were then combined with either CRS-PRO or SNOT-22 item scores to develop and compare the nine machine learning models. Model performance was assessed using area under the curve (AUC), decision curve analysis, sensitivity, specificity, and other metrics.

resultsEosinophil and neutrophil counts were identified as key objective predictors of suboptimal disease control after FESS. Among all models, logistic regression incorporating CRS-PRO scores and selected clinical features achieved the best performance, yielding an AUC of 0.866, accuracy of 83.3%, sensitivity of 72.7%, specificity of 89.5%, and F1-score of 76.2%. This model demonstrated a strong discriminatory ability and potential utility in individualized clinical decision-making.

conclusionIntegrating preoperative CRS-PRO item scores with selected objective clinical parameters enables the accurate prediction of suboptimal disease control in patients with CRSwNP following FESS. This approach supports personalized risk stratification and postoperative management strategies.
