1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewMonoclonal antibodies ("biologics") have increasingly been used to manage chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). The aim of this manuscript was to compare biologic outcomes to traditional management of CRSwNP with endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). RECENT

findingsThere are now four approved biologics for the treatment of CRSwNP in the United States: dupilumab, mepolizumab, omalizumab, and tezepelumab. Cost analysis and comparison between phase 3 clinical trial results of biologics and ESS show ESS is at least as effective as biologics in controlling symptoms with significantly less cost to the healthcare system. Recent guidelines published by the European Position paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps (EPOS) and the American Academy of Otolaryngology continue to support ESS in the management of CRSwNP when traditional medical therapy has failed. Biologics may be considered an option for severe uncontrolled CRSwNP that has failed comprehensive ESS. Future studies are needed to assess long-term efficacy and cost of biologics compared to ESS in CRSwNP.
