Prevalence of otolaryngological disease in a refugee population compared to US-born patients.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Objective: Limited data exists regarding otolaryngological (ENT) disease in refugees and we aim to characterize its prevalence. Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive chart review of adult US-born, immigrant, and refugee patients receiving care at a primary care clinic between 2014 and 2017. We report the prevalence of ENT disease by immigration status. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to assess differences in prevalence of ENT disease by immigration status. Results: Of 995 patients included, 202 US-born, 450 immigrants, and 343 were refugees. Immigrants were older (46 years vs. 34 years among refugees, 35.5 years among US-born, Conclusion: ENT disease is prevalent among refugees, necessitating standardized evaluation during refugee health assessments and identifying barriers to referral and treatment. Level of evidence: 2b.
