The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on acute otitis media among the pediatric population.
Article in International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundThe incidence of respiratory diseases has dropped during the school closures at the COVID-19 pandemic including acute otitis media (AOM) among the pediatric population.
methodsThis study included 2090 patients under 12 years old, that were diagnosed with AOM between March 2019 and February 2021 at the otolaryngology and pediatrics emergency room at a public tertiary hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
resultsThere was a significant drop in number of AOM cases diagnosed during the quarantine. The group before the pandemic represents 87,2% of the total attendings and the first two months of quarantine had the major attendance discrepancy between the same period during pre-pandemic times.
conclusionQuarantine isolation measures and school closures may have helped reduce not only the coronavirus spread but also other infectious diseases such as AOM among the pediatric population.
