Concha bullosa surgery and the distribution of human olfactory neuroepithelium.
Article 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, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 26 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
In bullous middle turbinate surgery, controversy exists over which side of the bullous middle turbinate should be removed, as the distribution of human olfactory neuroepithelium is unclear. This study evaluated whether the middle turbinate tissue of patients undergoing endoscopic concha bullosa surgery contains functional olfactory epithelium. This prospective clinical study was conducted in tertiary referable center. It detected 70 conchae bullosa in 48 patients with sinonasal symptoms, who underwent paranasal computed tomography (CT) that showed pneumatization of the middle concha. All samples were obtained under general anesthesia. Three samples were obtained from each bullous middle turbinate: one each from the anterior, medial, and lateral portions. The mucosa from each sample was stained with olfactory marker protein (OMP). In total, 210 middle turbinate samples were taken from 48 patients during endoscopic surgery for conchae bullosa. The patients were 22 females and 26 males. Of the 70 conchae bullosa, OMP-stained nerve tissue was found in the lateral, anterior and medial aspects of 57 (81.4 %), 42 (60.0 %) and 23 (32.8 %) of the bullous middle turbinates, respectively. OMP-stained nerve tissue was found in 122 (58.1 %) of the 210 bullous middle turbinate tissue samples. OMP-stained nerve tissue was found on the lateral surface of the bullous middle turbinate more often than the medial surface. Therefore, during the concha bullosa surgery, OMP-stained nerve tissue found at least in the medial part of concha, suggested that the opening of the medial part of middle concha.
