Audiometric Outcomes of Ventilation Drainage Treatment for Otitis Media with Effusion in Children: Implications for Speech Development and Hearing Loss.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND Otitis media with effusion is the most commonly recognized condition in childhood. Chronic otitis media with accompanying hearing loss is particularly unfavorable in the first years of the child's life because it can not only permanently damage the structure of the middle ear, but also adversely affect speech development and intellectual abilities in the child. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study, from a single center in Poland, included 201 children (372 ears) requiring surgical treatment due to otitis media with effusion. The condition was diagnosed by an ear, nose, and throat specialist, and each patient had a hearing test performed. The control group consisted of 21 patients (42 ears) with negative outcomes following an audiological interview. RESULTS Among all of the patients enrolled in the study, a normal tympanometry result was found in 60.6% of ears, and otoemission occurred in 63.3% of ears. The average hearing threshold in the study group was 22.01 Hz in the 500 Hz frequency range, while they were 16.76 Hz, 12.72 kHz, and 14.78 kHz for the corresponding 1 kHz, 2 kHz, and 4 kHz ranges, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Ventilation drainage is an effective treatment for otitis media with effusion. The presence of genetic disease has the greatest impact on the course of otitis media. These patients most often require reinsertion of a ventilation tube.
