The Effects of Throat Packing and Gender on Postoperative Nausea, Vomiting, and Sore Throat in Septorhinoplasty Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in Aesthetic plastic 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
backgroundIn satisfaction-oriented procedures such as septorhinoplasty, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and sore throat may adversely affect the hospital discharge process and delay the patient's return to daily life. To date, there is no conclusive evidence demonstrating the positive impact of throat pack placement on these postoperative symptoms in septorhinoplasty patients, and the role of gender in these outcomes remains insufficiently explored.
methodsPONV and sore throat were investigated in a randomized, prospective, double-blind study involving 152 patients undergoing elective septorhinoplasty, who were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of throat packing. Additionally, the effect of gender on these postoperative complaints was also investigated.
resultsThroat packing did not reduce PONV; however, it was associated with an increase in postoperative sore throat during the early postoperative period. Additionally, both PONV and postoperative sore throat were observed to be more common in female patients.
conclusionIn our study, consistent with previous research, throat packing was not found to reduce PONV and was associated with an increased incidence of postoperative throat pain. Therefore, throat packing is not routinely indicated in elective septorhinoplasty. Additionally, given that PONV and throat pain were more frequently observed in female patients, we recommend the early adjustment of postoperative medication protocols to address these symptoms more effectively in this patient group. Throat pack placement in septorhinoplasty did not reduce PONV. Throat pack use was associated with a trend toward increased early postoperative sore throat. Female patients consistently reported higher rates of PONV and sore throat than males. To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial to specifically evaluate the influence of gender on PONV and postoperative sore throat in septorhinoplasty patients.
