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

This retrospective study assesses the prevalence of otolaryngology (OTO) disease in houseless patients on O'ahu based on data from the Houseless Outreach and Medical Education (HOME) clinics, a medical student-run, primary health care service. It is important to note that this data represents only a snapshot in time of the OTO diseases present in this population. Records were examined from September 3, 2020 to September 30, 2021. Patients with at least 1 OTO disease were included in this study. A total of 597 patient records were reviewed; a total of 58 patients were included in this study. The most common OTO diagnoses in this sample were facial trauma (n = 12, 21%), dental caries (n = 7, 12%), cerumen impaction (n = 6, 10%), viral upper respiratory infection (n = 5, 9%), otitis media (n = 4, 7%), and allergic conjunctivitis (n = 3, 5%). Roughly 10% of patients seen in HOME clinics between September 2020 and September 2021 were seen for OTO disease.
