The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
One subtype of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is characterized by the development of a T-helper type 2 (Th2) response and eosinophilic infiltration. Here, we aimed to establish an eosinophilic CRSwNP murine model, which would be essential to understand the underlying pathogenesis and establish a treatment strategy. C57BL/6 mice were challenged intranasally with a mixture of an Aspergillus oryzae-derived protease (AP) and ovalbumin (OVA) for 6, 8, or 12 consecutive weeks (12 mice/group); control mice received the same volume of phosphate-buffered saline for 12 weeks (n = 12). Sinonasal samples were evaluated histologically, and interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13, eotaxin, keratinocyte chemoattractant, and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 mRNA levels in sinonasal mucosa were measured by real-time PCR. Protein levels of Th2 cytokines, INF-γ, IL-17A, and chemokines in nasal lavage fluid, and total serum IgE were measured by ELISA. Greater eosinophil infiltration in the subepithelial layer was observed in the challenged groups, compared with the control group. Polypoid mucosal lesions were predominantly observed in the 12-week group, which also exhibited mucosal thickening on micro-CT scans. The IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 mRNA and protein levels were elevated in the sinonasal mucosa and nasal lavage fluid. INF-γ and IL-17A were undetectable or not elevated relative to the control group levels. In contrast, eotaxin levels were particularly elevated in the sinonasal mucosa and nasal lavage fluid in the 12-week group. In conclusion, intranasal AP and OVA exposure successfully induced Th2-specific CRSwNP in a murine model.
