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

Chronic Otitis Media is characterized by distinct bacteriology compared with Acute Otitis Media, with COM being highly likely to harbor multiple bacteria of anaerobic and aerobic types of organisms (Cameron and Hussam K. El-Kashlan, xxx). In some patients, chronic infection with otorrhea will persist despite aggressive medical therapy. With the large number of cases of COM which presents to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, and a majority being resistant to the common medications, we decided to undertake this study to have a better understanding of the bacterial epidemiology, the resistance, and what antibiotic to use in such cases. To determine the prevalence of different bacteriological agents and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern in patients of Chronic Otitis Media-Active Mucosal Disease presenting to ENT OPD at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Mangolpuri, Delhi. An observational cross-sectional study of 200 patients. After an initial examination, two sterile cotton swab sticks were introduced to collect pus samples from the medial part of the external auditory canal. The swabs were sent to the microbiology lab for Gram Staining, Culture, and Biochemical Tests, for identification of the different bacteriological agents and their antibiotic sensitivity patterns. Most common organism seen was Pseudomonas aeruginosa, followed by
