Limited Audiological Assessment Results in Children With Otitis Media With Effusion.
Article in Ear and hearing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesClinical practice guidelines predicate the need for evaluation of hearing in children with otitis media with effusion (OME). The objective of this work was to characterize the completeness of hearing assessment results in children with OME.
designForty participants with OME completed two full audiological assessments, one in a clinical setting and a second in a research setting. An additional 14 participants without OME completed a single audiological assessment in the research setting as a control group. The success of various behavioral and objective audiometric tests in each setting was quantified and evaluated.
resultsFindings indicate that ear-specific behavioral audiometric information is substantially limited in children with OME, particularly in clinical settings. In contrast, objective testing including tympanometry and otoacoustic emission testing was largely successful.
conclusionsEar-specific behavioral audiometric information is limited in children with OME and, consequently, consideration of these data for use as part of clinical decision making is also limited. Objective tests were more successful but are not direct measures of hearing.
