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

Otitis media represents one of the most common infections in childhood. Within the first 3 years of life, up to 80% of children experience at least one episode of otitis media. It is often resolved with supportive therapies and consequently not considered a worrisome problem. However, it may be an early manifestation of a severe underlying disease. Primary immunodeficiencies are rare congenital defects of the immune system that often remain unrecognized, or diagnosis can be delayed, sometimes resulting in fatal consequences for the child. Patients suffer from recurrent, prolonged, and/or unusual infections leading to local sequelae, failure to thrive, developmental delays, and systemic infections with severe courses. This review provides a brief insight into primary immunodeficiencies and an overview of leading findings that should result in further evaluation of the immune system in cases of otitis media. A stepwise diagnostic approach is proposed to facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and, consequently, effective and timely therapy to improve the patient's outcome and quality of life.
