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

Background: Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS), particularly its eosinophilic endotype (ECRS), is frequently associated with comorbid lower airway diseases. The JESREC score is a clinical tool for predicting ECRS. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the JESREC score and pulmonary dysfunction in adult CRS patients and to explore the potential role of metabolic factors. Methods: Patients were categorized based on pulmonary function tests and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify associated factors for overall pulmonary dysfunction and its restrictive and obstructive subtypes. The discriminative ability of the JESREC score was evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Furthermore, mediation models were constructed to figure out the mediating role of metabolic factors (BMI, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose and serum lipidomic profiles). Results: A total of 143 patients were included in the final analysis. The JESREC score was significantly higher in patients with pulmonary dysfunction (8.6 vs. 5.0, Conclusions: JESREC score was independently associated with pulmonary dysfunction in CRS patients, and metabolic factors may statistically mediate part of this association, suggesting a potential pathway. Furthermore, patients with JESREC score ≥ 5 may warrant special attention to pulmonary function.
