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
Generally, the olfactory organ of vertebrates consists of the olfactory epithelium (OE) and the vomeronasal organ (VNO). The OE contains ciliated olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), while the VNO contains microvillous ORNs. The ORNs in the OE express odorant receptors (ORs), while those in the VNO express type 1 and type 2 vomeronasal receptors (V1Rs and V2Rs). In turtles, the olfactory organ consists of the upper (UCE) and lower chamber epithelia (LCE). The UCE contains ciliated ORNs, while the LCE contains microvillous ORNs. Here we investigated the distribution of cells expressing vomeronasal receptors in the olfactory organ of turtles. The turtle vomeronasal receptors were encoded by two V1R genes and two V2R genes. Among them, V2R1 and V2R26 were mainly expressed in the LCE, while V1R3 was expressed both in the UCE and LCE. Notably, vomeronasal receptors were expressed by a limited number of ORNs, which was confirmed by the expression of the gene encoding TRPC2, an ion channel involved in the signal transduction of vomeronasal receptors. Furthermore, expression of ORs by the majority of ORNs was suggested by the expression of the gene encoding CNGA2, an ion channel involved in the signal transduction of ORs. Thus, olfaction of turtle seems to be mediated mainly by the ORs rather than the vomeronasal receptors. More importantly, the relationship between the fine structure of ORNs and the expression of olfactory receptors are not conserved among turtles and other vertebrates.
