Serum metabolic biomarkers associated with self-reported chronic rhinosinusitis: a population-based cross-sectional study from the KNHANES.
Article in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology. 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
objectivesChronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent condition with complex pathophysiology. While metabolic factors have been suggested to play a role in CRS, the relationship between serum metabolic markers and CRS prevalence remains unclear.
methodsThis cross-sectional study used data from the 2022 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to assess the relationship between serum lipid profiles, glucose metabolism, purine metabolism, and CRS prevalence. A total of 4,759 participants with complete data were included. CRS diagnosis was determined based on self-reported information obtained during health interviews. Serum metabolic markers were measured from fasting blood samples. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to calculate Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI), while controlling for potential confounding factors.
resultsAfter controlling for confounders, high serum Uric Acid (UA) levels were significantly associated with a higher risk of CRS (OR = 1.558, 95% CI 1.040, 2.332, p = 0.020). Subgroup analysis revealed a stronger correlation among urban residents (OR = 1.635, 95% CI 1.085, 2.463, p = 0.019). However, no marked association was identified between serum indices of lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism and the prevalence of CRS.
conclusionThis study found that higher serum UA levels were associated with the presence of CRS, suggesting a potential link between metabolic dysregulation and CRS susceptibility. Further longitudinal and experimental studies are needed to confirm these associations and clarify the underlying mechanisms. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4 (Cross-sectional study).
