On the Embryonic Development of the Nasal Turbinals and Their Homology in Bats.
Article in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Multiple corrugated cartilaginous structures are formed within the mammalian nasal capsule, eventually developing into turbinals. Due to its complex and derived morphology, the homologies of the bat nasal turbinals have been highly disputed and uncertain. Tracing prenatal development has been proven to provide a means to resolve homological problems. To elucidate bat turbinate homology, we conducted the most comprehensive study to date on prenatal development of the nasal capsule. Using diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced computed tomography (diceCT), we studied in detail the 3D prenatal development of various bat species and non-bat laurasiatherians. We found that the structure previously identified as "maxilloturbinal" is not the true maxilloturbinal and is only part of the ethmoturbinal I pars anterior. Our results also allowed us to trace the evolutionary history of the nasal turbinals in bats. The turbinate structures are overall comparable between laurasiatherians and pteropodids, suggesting that pteropodids retain the ancestral laurasiatherian condition. The absence of the ethmoturbinal I pars posterior in yangochiropterans and rhinolophoids has possibly occurred independently by convergent evolution.
