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

The murine olfactory epithelium is the initial entry point of the olfactory system, housing various cell types that include olfactory sensory neurons, their regenerating progenitors, and support cells. Olfactory sensory neurons transduce chemical odorants into neural signals, yet the mechanisms underlying how these cells develop and turnover, create synapses with the olfactory bulb, and regulate their odorant receptors remain areas of intense study. Located on the dorsal aspect of the nasal cavity, the olfactory epithelium adheres to intricate bony structures known as turbinates. This anatomy poses unique challenges for its extraction and dissociation, especially in the context of preparing viable single-cell suspensions. Because single-cell suspension protocols often involve preparatory steps (e.g., papain dissociation, FACS) that can stress cell viability and/or delay library preparation, minimizing tissue extraction time is crucial. This article presents a streamlined method for the rapid dissection of the olfactory epithelium and a protocol for generating high-quality single-nucleus suspensions.
