1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This clinical study aimed to compare the mucociliary clearance time in patients with OCD, a disease associated with neural olfactory disorders, with a healthy control group. The mucociliary clearance time of fifty-one patients with OCD and fifty-two healthy patients (control group) was compared. The saccharin nasal mucociliary clearance test (NMCT) was applied and recorded the sociodemographic data of all participants. The NMCT was longer in OCD patients than healthy controls. There was no statistically significant difference in sociodemographic data between the groups. Our results show that olfactory transmission pathways may be affected in OCD patients. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-03972-2.
