Viral cytopathic effect in maxillary sinus epithelium and SARS-CoV-2: Pitfalls in diagnostic characterization.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Viral cytopathic effects (VCE) are a well-known phenomenon associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, especially in the cells associated with the lungs. Because maxillary sinus epithelium expresses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, cells associated with it are more likely to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 and develop VCE. If VCE is seen in with background of a confirmatory COVID-19 diagnosis, then connecting both become quite convincing. However, the diagnostic problem is expected when a similar VCE is seen without any confirmatory diagnosis of CODIV-19. We reported a biopsy sample of maxillary sinusitis in a COVID-19 negative patient. Histopathological examination revealed a pathognomonic VCE in the localized proliferating pseudostratified ciliated epithelium. The only confirmatory aspect linking this VCE with the SARS-CoV-2 was the detection of virus particles at the tissue level. In the present paper, pitfalls and recommendations for future research on this topic are discussed.
