Living With Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Insights From an Arts-Based Study.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 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
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) significantly reduces quality of life (QoL), but data regarding the extent of its impact is sparse. Questionnaire-based assessments of QoL may neglect aspects of complex patient experiences. Recent studies on asthma patients and other chronic conditions have used self-expression through artwork to better depict patients' experiences. This study aims to analyze the experience of living with CRS by exploring common characteristics represented within artworks. Methods: A prospective qualitative arts-based study was conducted. Adults with CRS were included ( Results: Analysis of artworks through interviews identified six main themes: "chronicity and adaptation," "impacts," "emotional toll," "healthcare navigation and advocacy," "resilience and personal growth," and "complexity and nuance." These reveal in greater detail a multifaceted and contradicting emotional landscape shaped by chronic illness. For patients who scored high on depression and anxiety scales, the emotional toll and impacts were more prominently depicted in interviews. Compared with similar studies conducted in patients with asthma, these results highlight the more prevalent difficulties of navigating the healthcare system for patients with CRS. Conclusion: An arts-based methodology enables in-depth exploration of the impact of CRS on QoL, using large language models, a type of artificial intelligence, to identify common themes amongst individual experiences of CRS patients.
