Correlation between otitis media and dental malocclusion in children.
Article in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimTo determine the possible correlation between otitis media and dental malocclusion in children.
methodsFifty subjects (26 males and 24 females; mean age: 7.8 +/- 1 years) were assessed: 25 patients, with otitis media formed the study group, while 25 healthy subjects formed the control group. An otolaryngological examination and dental cast measurements were performed in order to evaluate adenoids, tonsils and dental relationships, respectively.
resultsA significant correlation (p<0.05) was found between otitis media and enlargement of adenoids (13 patients, 52% in the study group) and tonsils (11 patients, 44% in the study group). Furthermore, a significant predominance (p<0.05) of posterior crossbite was found in the study group (19 children, 76%), in comparison to the control group (4 children, 16%). No correlation between otitis media and overjet, overbite, Angle Class relationship, or inadequate oral habits were found.
conclusionsPosterior cross-bite and adenoids-tonsils enlargement are factors significantly associated with otitis media in children.
