The prevalence of otological manifestations in children with cleft palate.

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
aimsi) To determine the prevalence of the various otological manifestations that occured in children aged between 1 to 5 years, presenting to the Departments of ENT and Plastic Surgery with overt cleft palate. ii) To evaluate the possibility of the association of the different otological manifestations in relation to the various types of cleft. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross sectional study was performed on children with cleft palate presenting to the Otorhinolaryngology and Plastic Surgery OPDs of KLE Society's Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital and MRC (KLESPKH & MRC) (a tertiary referral centre), Belgaum between February 1, 2007 and January 31, 2008. Data was collected by clinical ear examination and evaluation of tympanometry reports.
resultsPrevalence of external ear abnormalities in the studied population was 13%. More than 55% of the participants' ears were diagnosed clinically with OME. There was no statistically significant association between type and side of cleft with the presence of OME.
conclusionExternal ear deformities are more prevalent in the cleft palate population than the general population. There was a high prevalence of OME in concordance with previous studies. The prevalence of other otopathology was rare. There was no association of the type or side of palate cleft with OME.
