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

backgroundOtitis media with effusion (OME) as the most common cause of hearing loss in childhood plays an important role in the follow-up after failed newborn hearing screening (NHS). The introduction of the NHS allows OME to be diagnosed and treated in the first months of life. MATERIAL AND

methodsIn 715 children referred to the Department of Phoniatrics and Pedaudiology of the Ear, Nose, Throat University Hospital of Magdeburg during the period 2006-2010, the prevalence and therapy process of OME during follow-up could be determined.

resultsOME was diagnosed in 16 % of the patients. Spontaneous resolution was observed in 37 % of the cases, while 46 % of the children were treated surgically. A substantially increased risk for persistent OME was observed in children with craniofacial dysmorphia or cleft palate.

conclusionUsing NHS, OME can be diagnosed and treated early, thus, preventing potential problems in the linguistic, social and intellectual development of children.
