Does Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty Preserve Nasal Airway Function? A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in The Journal of laryngology and otology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to systematically review the evidence on functional outcomes following dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, with a focus on nasal obstruction.
methodsA systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane databases were searched up to March 2025. Studies reporting nasal airway outcomes following dorsal preservation rhinoplasty using subjective or objective measures were included.
resultsSix studies comprising 662 patients were included. Patient-reported outcomes (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation, Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey and Visual Analogue Scale) consistently demonstrated significant post-operative improvement. Objective measures (acoustic rhinometry, rhinomanometry and cone-beam computed tomography) showed maintained or improved airway dimensions. dorsal preservation rhinoplasty was functionally equivalent to traditional structural techniques, with low complication (<5 per cent) and revision rates (<2 per cent).
conclusionDorsal preservation rhinoplasty maintains or improves nasal airway function while preserving structural integrity and reducing the need for grafting. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional dorsal reduction techniques.
