Endoscopic excision of a unilateral sinonasal hamartoma.

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
Sinonasal hamartomas are rare, benign developmental lesions of the nasal cavity that may mimic inflammatory polyps or neoplastic processes, particularly when presenting as unilateral nasal masses. Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent unnecessary aggressive management. We report the case of a 43-year-old male with a history of chronic rhinosinusitis who presented with progressive right-sided nasal obstruction and was found to have a unilateral nasal cavity mass. The patient underwent endoscopic excision of the lesion with clear margins. Gross pathologic examination revealed irregular tan-pink mucosal and cartilaginous tissue fragments measuring up to ~2.5 cm. Histopathologic analysis demonstrated disorganized sinonasal elements without cytologic atypia, invasive growth, or malignant features, consistent with a sinonasal hamartoma. The postoperative course was uncomplicated, and no further intervention was required. This case highlights the importance of considering hamartomas in the differential diagnosis of unilateral nasal masses and demonstrates that complete endoscopic excision is both diagnostic and curative.
