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

Tuberculous otitis media (TOM) is a rare affectation in our environment that represents a challenge in its diagnosis due to the non-specific symptoms that it usually presents. This paper presents our experience in the diagnosis of a case of TOM in a 66-year-old woman with hearing loss and chronic otorrhea of more than 6 months of evolution that did not respond to conventional treatments. In addition, a review of the cases published in the last 20 years (2000-2022) in countries of the European Union (EU) is carried out. The most common symptoms were otorrhea (n=43; 100%), hearing loss (n=37; 86.05%), eardrum perforation (n=19; 44.18%), facial paralysis (n=12, 27,91%) and ear pain (n=13; 30,23%). The most used sample for diagnosis was the biopsy obtained by mastoidectomy (n=34; 79.06%). All patients were given antituberculous therapy for a mean duration of 8.11 months (range, 6-12 months). The most frequent aftereffect was hearing loss (n=28; 65.12%). TOM should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic suppurative otitis, since early diagnosis and treatment reduce the probability of suffering irreversible sequelae.
