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
Airflow resistance is crucial for optimal pulmonary function during respiration. Nasal airway obstruction may be caused by collapse or obstruction of the internal nasal valve (INV). The objective of this investigation was to assess the internal nasal valve prior to and following turbinoplasty through cross-sectional computed tomography. This prospective clinical study was conducted on 60 adult patients who experienced nasal obstruction that was either partially or completely unrelieved following despite maximal medical treatment. Prior to surgery, each patient underwent a comprehensive medical history, clinical examination, and comprehensive otorhinolaryngological examination. Additionally, an endoscopic assessment of the nasal cavity and cross-sectional CT scan on nose and paranasal sinuses was conducted. There was a significant improvement postoperatively, as postoperative NOSE score was significantly decreased across time till reach 37.4 ± 6.3 at 6 months (
