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

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the clinical features of patients with comorbid asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and to evaluate the impact of comorbid asthma on the quality of life of these patients. Methods: Adult patients with bilateral chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps scheduled for sinus surgery were prospectively enrolled. Clinical information of the participants, including laboratory data and computed tomography images. The Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 was used to evaluate nasal symptoms and quality of life impairment of participants. Results: A total of 170 participants were recruited, of whom 32 (18.8%) had comorbid asthma. Compared to patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and without comorbid asthma, patients with asthma exhibited significant higher age, computed tomography ethmoid/maxillary ratio, computed tomography olfactory cleft opacification score, serum total IgE, serum eosinophil cationic protein levels, and blood and tissue eosinophil count. Patients with comorbid chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and asthma exhibited significant higher total, and rhinologic- and sleep-related domains of the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22 than did those without comorbid asthma. Conclusion: Comorbid asthma is associated with more severe type 2 eosinophilic inflammation and has a significant impact on the nasal symptoms and quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, particularly as shown in the rhinologic- and sleep-related domains of the Sinonasal Outcome Test-22. This information may assist physicians in decision-making when treating these patients.
