Allergy is not a risk factor for recurrent acute otitis media: a real-life clinical experience.
Article in Asia Pacific allergy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAcute otitis media (AOM) is the most common bacterial infection in children. Some children with AOM tend to be otitis-prone, such as to have frequent recurrence of AOM (RAOM). The possible RAOM risk factors are widely debated.
objectiveThe aim was to identify predictive factors, including clinical data and endoscopic findings, for RAOM in children.
methodsThe current study was performed in a real-life setting, such as an otorhinolaryngologic (ORL) clinic. In this study, 1,002 children (550 males, 452 females; mean age, 5.77 ± 1.84 years), complaining upper airway symptoms, were consecutively visited. Detailed clinical history and nasal endoscopy were performed.
resultsThroughout the ORL visit, it was possible to define some factors involved in the recurrence of AOM, including female sex, artificial feeding, tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy, whereas male sex and recurrent respiratory infections could protect from RAOM.
conclusionAllergy was not associated with RAOM. In addition, this real-life study identified some predictive factors of RAOM, thus also in a primary care setting it is possible to achieve important information that is relevant in clinical practice.
