Review 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, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06260657 (Search for Olfactory Cells Within the Fetal Ethmoid Epithelium), which is not on this map. Cited by 36 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Studies of the tissues of the human olfactory mucosa have been performed to investigate olfactory dysfunction and, more recently, olfactory mucosa has attracted a novel interest of investigators because it can be used as an early marker of neurodegenerative conditions of the brain and as a source of multipotent neural stem cells, with applications in regenerative medicine. The olfactory mucosa is readily available to the otolaryngologist, but the harvesting of this tissue must be safe, effective, and reliable, obtaining as little tissue as necessary, while avoiding unnecessary harm to the remaining olfactory tissue and function. The purpose of this review is to summarize the results of the most important studies and knowledge with regard to the human olfactory mucosa and its applications, emphasizing the issue of the distribution of the olfactory mucosa in the nasal cavities.
