The significance of selected prognostic factors in pediatric tympanoplasty.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to determine the importance of selected prognostic factors on outcomes of tympanoplasty in children. MATERIALS AND
methods241 children classified into three age groups (3-7, 8-12 and 13-18), had undergone tympanoplasty between 2001 and 2007 and were subsequently observed for at least 2 years. Prognostic factors were assessed with regard to their impact on the functional and anatomical outcome of the tympanoplasty defined, respectively, as postoperative air-bone gap and state of the middle ear.
resultsIn 85% of children, a tympanic membrane reconstruction was performed. An unchanged TM was achieved in 85% of the patients in early results and in 76% in later results. Air-bone gap closure was observed in 66% of cases. The earlier preventive retraction pocket tympanoplasty was performed, the better anatomical results were obtained-ranging from 91% in the 3-7 age group versus 75-70% in 8-12 and 13-18 age groups. The results of total or subtotal perforation reconstructions were worse than for small perforation with closure rates of 76.5% vs 94.5%, respectively.
conclusionAge is not a factor determining the success rate in pediatric tympanoplasty. A better surgical outcome can be achieved in children with a dry ear, and better middle ear condition, because of previously performed surgeries. Preventive tympanoplasty is also advantageous. The hearing results in type 2 and 3 tympanoplasty are similar, but type 1 tympanoplasty has superior efficacy to the former two types.
