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
Introduction: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) significantly impacts auditory functions and overall quality of life. Although tympanoplasty is recognized for its auditory benefits, its broader psychological impacts in CSOM patients remain underexplored. Method: In this sequential explanatory mixed-methods study, 100 adult CSOM patients undergoing tympanoplasty were evaluated from January 2022 to December 2023. The study integrated quantitative assessments (Pure-Tone Audiometry, Speech Audiometry, COMOT-15, HADS) and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews. Results: Post-tympanoplasty, patients exhibited a notable improvement in auditory functions, with an average decrease in Pure-Tone Audiometry (PTA) thresholds by 30 dB and a 28% increase in speech recognition scores. Psychological assessments reflected a significant enhancement in quality of life, with an average decrease of 25 points in COMOT-15 scores, and reductions in HADS anxiety and depression scores by an average of 7 and 6 points, respectively. Qualitative interviews reinforced these results, emphasizing improved social interactions and emotional well-being. A strong correlation was observed between the auditory and psychological improvements. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that tympanoplasty in CSOM patients leads to significant auditory and psychological improvements, highlighting the necessity of a comprehensive treatment approach. This underscores the importance of considering both physical and mental health in CSOM management.
