Comparison of ciliary beat frequencies at different temperatures in young adults.
Article in ERJ open research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
rationaleDirect visualisation of ciliary beat pattern (CBP) and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) has been recommended as the first-line diagnostic test in patients suspected of having primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). However, the test procedure is not yet completely standardised, and centres measure the CBF at different temperatures.
objectivesIt was the aim of the study to compare CBF at different temperatures, to establish normative values, to check for age dependency and to measure the temperature on the nasal mucosa of the participants.
methodsHigh-speed video-microscopy analysis with a Sisson-Ammons Video Analysis (SAVA) system was used to determine CBP and CBF in the participants. MEASUREMENTS: Nasal brushings were taken and CBF was measured in randomised order at three temperatures: 25°C, 32°C and 37°C. MAIN
resultsIn total, 100 healthy young adults (74 female, 26 male), aged 20.2-31.9 years, were included in the study. We found a highly significant difference among the groups: the median CBF was 7.0 Hz at 25°C, 7.6 Hz at 32°C and 8.0 Hz at 37°C. The maximum time period
conclusionsThe most appropriate temperature at which to measure CBF is 32°C. In our study, with 95% confidence for this temperature the CBF was between 6.3 and 9.0 Hz.
