1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: The Chronic Rhinosinusitis Patient-Reported Outcome (CRS-PRO) questionnaire was recently developed for use in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients. This instrument was developed using current diagnostic criteria. This study aimed to translate and validate CRS-PRO for Thai CRS patients. Methods: The three-phase translation process and validation were conducted at Rajavithi Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Adults (> 18 years) with primary CRS, diagnosed using EPOS2020 criteria, were recruited alongside non-CRS controls. Discriminant validity was assessed by comparing scores between CRS patients and non-CRS controls. Concurrent validity was evaluated by correlating CRS-PRO with the Thai version of the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22). Reliability was assessed using internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) and test-retest reliability using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: A total of 85 CRS patients and 40 non-CRS controls were enrolled. The Thai CRS-PRO was completed in (101.80 ± 26.36) seconds. CRS patients had significantly higher scores than controls (16 [10-24] vs. 2 [0-5], Conclusions: The Thai-translated CRS-PRO has been developed and validated. It demonstrated significant discriminant validity between patients and non-patients, a very strong correlation with the Thai version of SNOT-22, and good reliability. Its brevity and time efficiency support its applicability in both clinical practice and research, enhancing its potential for widespread adoption.
