Rhinoscleroma and chronic rhinosinusitis- an insidious presentation.
Article in Journal of the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada = Journal officiel de l'Association pour la microbiologie medicale et l'infectiologie Canada, 2025. 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: Rhinoscleroma is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease of the respiratory mucosa, endemic in some countries of Central America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa, but rare in North America. Methods: We report the case of a 35-year-old man who immigrated to Canada from El Salvador at 10 years of age who was diagnosed with rhinoscleroma 25 years after his immigration. Results: He presented with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion for 14 years that did not respond to standard CRS treatment. His symptoms resolved with the administration of appropriate antibiotic therapy following the diagnosis of rhinoscleroma based on histopathological examination and nasal culture. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of recognizing non-endemic diseases in the era of mass global migration. Clinicians should consider epidemiology and non-endemic infections when evaluating patients with CRS and refer those who are refractory to standard therapy to an otolaryngologist for further assessment.
