Photogrammetric Comparison of Septal Extension Grafts and Columellar Strut Grafts Reinforced with Septocolumellar Sutures.
Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 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
Objective: To compare the effects of septal extension (SE) grafts and columellar strut (CS) grafts reinforced with septocolumellar sutures on nasal tip projection, rotation, and patient-reported outcomes in primary rhinoplasty using standardized photogrammetric analysis. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 60 patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty between 2019 and 2024 (30 SE and 30 CS grafts reinforced with septocolumellar sutures). Nasal tip projection, rotation, and anthropometric parameters were assessed using Rhinobase software. Functional and esthetic outcomes were evaluated using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation Questionnaire (NOSE) and Facial Aesthetic Quality of Life Questionnaire (FACE-Q). Results: The mean age was 27.8 years, and 70% of the participants were female. The mean postoperative follow-up was 9.5±2.7 months. Although baseline nasal length and tip projection were lower in the SE group, both techniques produced comparable postoperative improvements in nasal tip projection, rotation, and nasal length. Postoperative FACE-Q and NOSE scores were also similar between groups, despite lower preoperative FACE-Q scores in the SE group (p=0.003). Conclusion: CS grafts reinforced with septocolumellar sutures achieved functional and esthetic outcomes comparable to SE grafts. These findings suggest that septocolumellar suturing may compensate for the structural advantages traditionally attributed to SE grafts in primary rhinoplasty.
