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

Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) represents the most frequent primary immunodeficiency, often encountered in the ENT clinical practice. The clinical spectrum of CVID is quite broad, but otitis media are certainly among the most common clinical manifestations. This prospective study enrolled 60 patients (34 males, 26 females) with a previous diagnosis of CVID with the aim of performing an otologic evaluation and a more precision characterization of incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of otitis media in this group of patients. In consideration that Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) could be the 'primum movens' of otitis media, we wanted to assess whether a Eustachian tube dysfunction was present in these patients. Besides, we propose a possible diagnostic algorithm of middle ear pathologies to use in all cases of primary antibody deficiency patients. Results of our otologic examination showed that: 5 % of patients had chronic suppurative otitis media, 25 % bilateral otitis media with effusion and 10 % reported unilateral OME with associated contralateral ETD. There was bilateral isolated ETD and unilateral isolated ETD in 5 and 15 % of patients, respectively. All patients with unilateral OME had associated contralateral ETD. Finally, 40 % of patients were bilaterally negative at otoscopic examination and all otologic tests.
