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
Objective: This study aims to describe the spatial relation (SR) between the nasopalatine canal (NPC) and the septal projection of the middle turbinate axilla (MTA-SP), 2 anatomical landmarks used in rhinology. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in patients who underwent a cone bean computed tomography. Two radiological measurements were assessed by 2 examiners: the distance between the perpendicular line corresponding to the MTA-SP to the posterior border of the NPC and the distance between the anterior and posterior border of the NPC. Also, an anatomical dissection was performed on a cadaveric head and NPC was cannulated to visually assess the SR through a radiological reconstruction. Results: Among 30 patients, 14 females and 16 males with a mean age of 46.6 (SD 18.8) years, the mean distance between the perpendicular line corresponding to the MTA-SP to the posterior border of the NPC was -0.08 mm (SD 2.4 mm) and the mean distance between the anterior and posterior border of the NSP was 2.7 mm (SD 1.4 mm). Conclusions: The septal projection of the middle turbinate axilla is above and slightly in front to the NPC, at a mean distance of 0.08 mm. Understanding this relationship provides essential information about structure and spatial orientation of the nasal cavity.
