Differences in men and women suffering from CRSwNP and AERD in quality of life.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeWhile the overall impact of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) on patients' health is diverse, many affected individuals have a substantially impaired quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sex-associated differences specifically in the subgroups of CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) by assessing QoL parameters in women and men separately.
methodsIn a retrospective single-center study, 59 patients with CRSwNP (39 males and 20 females) and 46 patients with AERD (18 males and 28 females) were included. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) evaluating QoL via the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-20 German Adapted Version (SNOT-20 GAV) as well as the total polyp score (TPS) were analysed.
resultsThere was no significant difference in TPS (p = 0.5550) and total SNOT-20 GAV scores (p = 0.0726) between male or female patients with CRSwNP or AERD. Furthermore, no significant sex differences were found within disease groups regarding the subcategories of the SNOT-20 GAV items.
conclusionThus, quality of life is severely impaired in patients suffering from various forms of CRS regardless of their sex.
