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: Nasal polyps (NPs) show distinct characteristics in histologic features with different inflammatory cells and stromal changes, but their clinical implications remain poorly understood. Objective: To determine the associations between NP histology, clinical characteristics, radiologic disease burden on osteomeatal unit computed tomography (OMU-CT) findings, and postoperative recurrence. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 219 patients who underwent nasal polypectomy. NPs were histologically classified by predominant inflammatory cells (eosinophilic vs. lymphoplasmacytic) and stromal features (edematous, glandular, or dense). Clinical variables, preoperative OMU-CT scores, and recurrence rates were analyzed. Results: Overall, 62.6% (137/219) of NPs were eosinophilic. Edematous stroma was the most common stromal subtype (72.6%, 159/219), predominating in eosinophilic NPs (96.3%, 132/137). Patients with eosinophilic NPs showed higher CT severity scores (18.4 ± 0.7 vs. 15.5 ± 1.1; Conclusion: Eosinophilic NPs are associated with greater CT disease burden and extent. Peripheral eosinophil counts reflect tissue eosinophilia and correlate with radiologic severity.
