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 nasal cavity plays a critical role in respiration and olfaction, functions supported by its turbinate architecture and epithelial distribution. The turbinates-primarily composed of the maxilloturbinate and ethmoturbinate-expand the intranasal surface area and provide a structural foundation for epithelial types. Although the common marmoset(Callithrix jacchus) is widely used as a nonhuman primate model in translational research, postnatal nasal turbinate structure and epithelial zonation have not been fully characterized. In this study, we compared turbinate morphology and epithelial zonation between infant (≤ postnatal day 28) and adult (> 1 year) marmosets using high-resolution micro-computed tomography and histological analysis. In infancy, the maxilloturbinate lacks the scroll-like structure of adults, and The ethmoturbinate is limited in anterior extension and shows no evident branching, indicating immaturity. Epithelial zonation is already characterized in infancy, resembling the adult pattern. The nasal cavity epithelia comprise squamous epithelium (SE), nasal transitional epithelium (TE), respiratory epithelium (RE), and olfactory epithelium (OE) in anterior-to-posterior order. In contrast to adults, infant SE shows high proliferative activity, while RE exhibits sparse goblet cells, reflecting functional immaturity. These findings provide the first developmental map of turbinate architecture and epithelial distribution in the marmoset and serve as a reference for future studies of primate nasal biology.
