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

backgroundAlthough patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) may benefit from endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), some patients will experience polyp recurrence, adding to the overall disease burden of CRSwNP. We aimed to investigate predictors of revision ESS in patients with CRSwNP.

methodsA nationwide population-based study including all adults diagnosed with CRSwNP who had surgical procedure codes for ESS (N = 3506), followed up between January 2012 and December 2019. Logistic regression models provided adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the odds of revision surgery within one and 3 years post-index surgery.

results559 (15.9%) of the patients had at least one revision surgery during the follow-up. Median time to revision of ESS was 425 days (interquartile range: 213-898). Baseline asthma (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.17-2.12) and antibiotic use (OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.27-2.04) were associated with higher odds of revision ESS, particularly within 3 years post-index surgery, whereas Increasing age was inversely associated with the odds of ESS revision (OR = 0.82, 95% CI 0.76-0.88). The highest odds of revision ESS were observed within 3 years post-index surgery in patients who had undergone extensive surgery at index (OR = 14.13, 95% CI 3.41-95.64) compared with those who had undergone limited surgery. OCS use was frequent among CRSwNP patients, with a higher cumulative dose in patients undergoing multiple ESS revisions (63%, n = 97, median daily dose 3.29 mg, IQR: 1.64-3.70) compared with patients without revisions (49%, n = 1361 and 1.64 mg, IQR: 1.64-3.29, respectively. p-value <0.001).

conclusionsA small proportion of CRSwNP patients require revision ESS with associated high cumulative OCS doses, highlighting the need for additional therapies to achieve disease control and reduce the corticosteroid burden. A few simple baseline characteristics can predict the need for recurrent surgery among the patients with CRSwNP.
