Modifiable Risk Factors for Symptom Burden in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps: The Role of Obesity and Sleep Apnoea.
Article in Clinical otolaryngology : official journal of ENT-UK ; official journal of Netherlands Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology & Cervico-Facial Surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo identify sociodemographic and clinical predictors of symptom severity and quality of life (QoL) impairment in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), diagnosed according to the latest EPOS 2020 criteria. STUDY
designCross-sectional analytical study.
settingTertiary Care Center (University Hospital of Jaén, Spain).
methodsA total of 188 patients diagnosed with CRSwNP were evaluated. Symptom severity and QoL were assessed using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE-E) and the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify predictors of symptom burden.
resultsHigher body mass index (BMI) and the presence of sleep apnoea were independently associated with increased symptom severity, as measured by both the NOSE-E (adj. R
conclusionBMI and sleep apnoea are independent predictors of greater symptom burden and poorer QoL in CRSwNP. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating weight management and sleep apnoea screening into the multidisciplinary management of CRSwNP to improve patient outcomes.
