Olfactory Sequelae of Nasal Surgeries: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

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
ImportanceSeptoplasty, turbinoplasty, and septorhinoplasty are common and generally-safe procedures. However, their effects on the olfactory system, despite its anatomical proximity, are not well documented. Given the importance of olfaction for quality of life, evaluating the olfactory impact of these surgeries is warranted.ObjectiveThis study aimed to assess the olfactory sequelae of nasal surgeries.DesignSystematic review with meta-analysisSetting and ParticipantsA search equation used in PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase identified 7780 articles published since 1990, evaluating the adverse events of nasal surgeries.ExposureThe studies included evaluated adult patients exposed to one of the following nasal surgeries: septoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and/or inferior turbinoplasty.Main outcome measuresOlfactory assessment results and number of patients presenting with preoperative or postoperative hyposmia were extracted, as well as the number of patients presenting with surgery-induced hyposmia.A meta-analysis was conducted to compare different surgical subgroups.ResultsOne hundred and two studies were ultimately included in the analysis, centralizing data from 16,072 patients. Surgery-induced hyposmia was identified in 2.7% of cases, regardless of the surgical intervention performed. Overall, nasal surgeries led to a postoperative improvement in hyposmia scores [3.73 (±1.58) vs 2.39 (±1.45),
