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
Aim: Unusual pneumatization of paranasal sinuses may cause extraordinary localizations of neighboring anatomic structures, thus changing the planning of endoscopic sinus surgery.This study aimed to evaluate the association of superior concha bullosa (SCB) with the surrounding anatomical structures and its effects on the localization of the sphenoid sinus ostium. Material and Methods: Paranasal Computerized Tomography sections of patients who visited our institution's otolaryngology department between 2018 and 2020 because of various complaints such as headache, nasal obstruction and smell disorder were retrospectively evaluated. Patients were divided into two groups as SCB group and control group. The association between the presence of the superior concha bullosa and the distance of the sphenoid ostium from the midline were evaluated. Results: Total number of sinuses evaluated was 412 from 206 patients. The study cohort included 107 patients (55 males and 52 females, mean age: 33 ± 14 years) with SCB (26 bilateral, 55 left sided, 26 right sided) and 99 patients (54 males and 45 females, mean age: 37 ± 14) without SCB on any side. The mean distance measured from the sphenoid sinus ostium to the midline was 3.98 ± 1.32 mm in sinuses with SCB and was 3.61 ± 1.50 mm in the SCB (-) control group ( Conclusion: In patients with SCB, the sphenoid sinus ostium might be located more laterally than its expected localization.
