Ultrastructural organisation of intraepithelial nerves in the human airway tract.
Article in Thorax, 1985. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Intraepithelial nerves of human airway tract were studied by electron microscopy after conventional glutaraldehyde fixation. Specimens were obtained from five patients at three different airway levels--the trachea, the right upper lobe bronchus, and segmental bronchus. Intraepithelial axon profiles were located either near the basement membrane or close to the lumen but were rare in the intermediate area of the epithelium. Axon profiles close to the lumen were seen only in the central airways (levels 1 and 2), while profiles close to the basement membrane were seen in all three levels.
