Otitis media as a presenting complaint in childhood immunodeficiency diseases.
Review in Current allergy and asthma reports, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Otitis media is one of the most common childhood infections and may result from a variety of underlying problems. Suspicion of immunodeficiency should increase when ear infections are frequent; suppurative; unresponsive to antibiotics; caused by unusual organisms; or seen in the context of other frequent infections, severe eczema, or failure to thrive. Humoral immune deficiencies, particularly with an inability to make antibody to encapsulated organisms, are the immunodeficiencies most likely to cause increased otitis media. Immune system evaluation should concentrate on humoral immunodeficiency disorders, but the presenting history and physical findings also should be considered when designing the work-up. Treating the underlying immune deficiency is usually necessary to adequately control the ear infections.
