RETRACTION: Functional but Not Structural Brain Changes After Olfactory Training in Women With COVID-19-Associated Olfactory Dysfunction.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
retractionZ. Li, J. Gebler, A. Joshi, X. Xu, D. Thaploo, A. Hähner, V. Avaro, F. Calegari, and T. Hummel, "Functional but Not Structural Brain Changes After Olfactory Training in Women With COVID-19-Associated Olfactory Dysfunction," The Laryngoscope 135, no. 6 (2025): 2089-2096, https://doi.org/10.1002/lary.32128. The above article, published online on 28 March 2025 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Samuel H. Selesnick; The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc.; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon following the authors' identification of a technical error in the functional MRI analysis: the dummy scan parameter had been incorrectly set, resulting in a mismatch between the "ON" and "OFF" condition time windows. Consequently, the first- and second-level fMRI statistical analyses were affected along with minor adjustments to the behavioral analyses results. A revised manuscript with the corrected data is currently under preparation. The authors sincerely apologize for this oversight.
