B Cell-Activating Factor Promotes B Cell Survival in Ectopic Lymphoid Tissues in Nasal Polyps.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Ectopic lymphoid tissues (eLTs) characterized by B cell aggregation contribute to the local immunoglobulin production in nasal polyps (NPs). B cell-activating factor (BAFF) is vital for B cell survival, proliferation, and maturation. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether BAFF is involved in the B cell survival and eLT formation in NPs. The mRNA and protein levels of BAFF in NP tissues with and without eLTs were detected by PCR and ELISA assay, respectively. The cellular sources of BAFF and active caspase-3-positive B cells in NPs were studied by immunofluorescence staining. B cells purified from NP tissues were stimulated with BAFF and were analyzed by flow cytometry. Stromal cells purified from NP tissues were stimulated with lymphotoxin (LT) α
