The Epidemiology of Olfactory Disorders.
Article in Current otorhinolaryngology reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 61 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.

Abstract
Insights into risk factors for olfactory decline are needed, because knowledge about its origin is limited. This impairment has important implications for human health. Several epidemiologic studies of olfaction provide insight into the prevalence of olfactory disorders. Here, we review the major population studies carried out on this topic to date. Our purpose is to characterize knowledge about olfactory disorders from human studies. We also describe the existing methods for measuring the sense of smell in population studies, present recent insights into the epidemiology of smell disorders, and discuss the risk factors identified to date. Synthesis of these data shows that olfactory dysfunction increases as people age and is worse in men. Further study of olfaction is warranted for gaining better information on the etiologies affecting its impairment, research that will have a large public health impact.
