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
backgroundThis case report details the successful surgical management of a giant antrochoanal polyp in a resource-limited setting (Democratic Republic of Congo). PATIENT PRESENTATION: A 22-year-old patient presented with severe nasal obstruction, dysphagia, and snoring. The patient was of Hunde ethnicity, indigenous to the eastern-central Democratic Republic of Congo. Diagnosis confirmed a polyp extending from the left maxillary sinus to the oropharynx. Despite constraints, complete excision was achieved via a modified Caldwell-Luc approach, demonstrating adaptive surgical technique. The patient experienced excellent postoperative recovery, confirming the clinical feasibility of managing complex pathologies in low-resource environments.
conclusionThis case provides transferable insights for clinicians in similar settings, highlighting how surgical ingenuity can achieve high-quality outcomes. It stands as evidence of resilient care delivery and underscores the critical need for equitable access to surgical solutions globally.
