A Scoping Review of Surgical Interventions for Nasal Valve Obstruction in Facial Paralysis.
Review in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2025. 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
Objective: The main objective of this scoping review was to identify various surgical techniques used to treat nasal airway obstruction Caused by facial paralysis and summarize available outcome data for these techniques. Data Sources: A literature search was conducted using Medline (PubMed) and Embase to find clinical studies on nasal obstruction and facial paralysis from their inception to April 2024. Review Methods: Literature was reviewed for studies that investigated the surgical treatment for nasal valve obstruction in patients experiencing facial paralysis. A search was conducted using Results: Fascia lata sling and suture suspension improved NOSE scores by 21 and 31 points, respectively. Subjective symptom relief ranged from 77% to 100%, with fascia lata sling showing consistent 100% improvement. Complication rates were lowest with fascia lata sling, at 4.3%, and highest with suture suspension, at 23.5%. Revision rates were 1.5% for fascia lata and 14.1% for suture suspension. Conclusions: Surgical correction of nasal valve obstruction in facial paralysis requires unique considerations. Further studies are necessary to determine the safest and most effective options for treating this unique problem.
