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

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is the most common cause of acquired pediatric hearing loss. The treatment of persistent OME includes myringotomy with or without tube insertion, with a reported recurrence rate of 19.9-40%. This study aims to investigate the recurrence rate of OME and its predictors following myringotomy. A retrospective study that included 345 ears that underwent myringotomy for persistent OME in 179 pediatric patients during 2016-2018. Patients were followed for 36-48 months post myringotomy procedure to detect the recurrence rate. The study sample was divided into two groups based on recurrence status, and the groups were compared using chi-square test and independent T-test. Significant variables (
