Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Nasal Surgery for Chronic Rhinitis.
Article in Journal of otolaryngology - head & neck surgery = Le Journal d'oto-rhino-laryngologie et de chirurgie cervico-faciale. 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
ImportanceChronic rhinitis (CR) affects quality of life and often coexists with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a comorbidity that may increase surgical risks. Understanding OSA's impact on outcomes of minimally invasive nasal surgery is clinically relevant.ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive nasal surgery for CR and assess the influence of OSA on postoperative complications and symptom relief.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingSingle tertiary medical center in Taiwan.ParticipantsA total of 325 CR patients underwent nasal surgery between March 2023 and June 2024. Based on sleep study results, patients were stratified into OSA (n = 48) and non-OSA (n = 277) groups.Exposure or InterventionMinimally invasive nasal surgery, including radiofrequency inferior turbinate reduction and/or posterior nasal nerve neurolysis. Patients receiving adjunctive procedures (eg, septoplasty, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, and tonsillectomy) were excluded.Main Outcome MeasuresPostoperative complications (eg, epistaxis) within 1 month and symptom relief based on reflective total nasal symptom score and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation.ResultsOSA [odds ratio (OR), 5.105; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.222-21.328;
