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

BackgroundThe efficacy of adjunctive procedures targeting allergic rhinitis (AR) symptoms during septoplasty remains controversial. While radiofrequency ablation of the inferior turbinates (ITRA) is commonly performed, its impact on allergic symptoms beyond nasal obstruction is limited. Posterior nasal nerve ablation (PNNA) has recently gained attention as a promising alternative.ObjectiveTo compare the effects of PNNA and ITRA performed concurrently with septoplasty on allergic and obstructive nasal symptoms in patients with septal deviation and AR.MethodsThis prospective cohort study included 69 patients with septal deviation and AR who underwent septoplasty with either PNNA (
