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
Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is a chronic inflammation of the middle ear and mastoid with persistent membrane perforation and hearing loss. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and NOD like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) play an important role in bone metabolism. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of OPG and NLRP3 gene polymorphism on ossicular chain resorption in COM. Fourty COM patients and 20 healhty control group were included in the study. While 20 patients underwent ossiculoplasty, 20 patients underwent type 1 tympanoplasty. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood using the DNA kit. OPG gene c.226A > C (p.Thr76Pro) and NLRP3 gene c.592G > A (p. Val198Met) polymorphisms were genotyped using melting curve analysis technique. NLRP3 gene polymorphism were determined in 6 of 20 patients (30%) in ossiculoplasty group, 4 of 20 patients (20%) in type 1 tympanoplasty group and 3 of 20 patients (15%) in control group. OPG gene polymorphism were determined in 5 of 20 patients (25%) in ossiculoplasty group, 3 of 20 patients (15%) in type 1 tympanoplasty group and 1 of 20 patients (5%) in control group, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding to results. Although the difference was not significant NLRP3 and OPG gene polymorphisms were higher in the ossiculoplasty group. Since NLRP3 and OPG gene polymorphisms were determined to be higher numerically in the ossiculoplasty group, OPG and NLRP3 gene regulation system may have an effect on ossicular chain destruction in COM.
