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
Introduction: Concha bullosa (CB) is an anatomical variation that can affect respiratory function. Therefore, identifying it is important. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of CB and its association with the side of pneumatization (right/left), nasal septum deviation (NSD), and mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinuses using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams from a Brazilian subpopulation. Also, to investigate the association between CB, sex and age. Methods: There were 297 CBCT exams assessed by two examiners who evaluated the presence of CB (> 50% pneumatization of the turbinate's height), NSD (deviation point of the nasal septum and crista galli angle >9 Results: A total of 208 CB was found, corresponding to 11.7% of the evaluated turbinates, being more prevalent in the middle one ( Conclusion: Almost half of the CBCT exams had at least one CB. Its prevalence was higher in the middle turbinate. There seems to be an association between middle CB and NSD. As for the other variables, no strong association was found.
