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

backgroundThe value of endoscopic septoplasty for patients with deviated nasal septum and allergic rhinitis has not been systematically summarized. This study aims to assess the impact of surgical intervention on quality of life through a meta-analysis.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search of PubMed, CNKI, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library for studies on the treatment of patients with deviated nasal septum and allergic rhinitis up to 2024. Studies that were duplicates, lacked full text, had incomplete data, or involved animal experiments, commentaries, or systematic reviews were excluded. Meta-analysis was performed using STATA 16.0.

resultsThe total nasal symptom score (TNSS) in patients who received endoscopic surgery was considerably reduced compared to those treated with spray therapy alone, indicating a significant improvement (SMD = -21.29, 95% CI: -26.26, -116.33). Classic symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including rhinorrhea (SMD=-9.97, 95% CI: -16.97, -2.98), nasal obstruction (SMD=-27.25, 95% CI: -41.12, -13.38), nasal itching (SMD=-10.32, 95% CI: -13.16, -7.48), and sneezing (SMD=-12.66, 95% CI: -14.99, -10.34), showed significant improvement. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two treatments (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.49, 2.10).

conclusionPatients with a deviated nasal septum and allergic rhinitis benefit more from septoplasty. However, the procedure should be performed cautiously by experienced clinicians, taking into account the specific condition of the nasal septum.
