Conformal immunomodulatory hydrogels for the treatment of otitis media.
Article in Journal of nanobiotechnology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Otitis media (OM), a condition stemming from the proliferation of various bacteria within the tympanic cavity (TC), is commonly addressed through the administration of ofloxacin (OFL), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. Nevertheless, the escalating issue of antibiotic resistance and the challenge of drug leakage underscore the exploration of an alternative, more effective treatment modality in clinical practice. Here, we introduce a simple and easily implementable fluid-regulated strategy aimed at delivering immunomodulatory hydrogels into the TC, ensuring conformal contact with the irregular anatomical surfaces of the middle ear cavity to more effectively eliminate bacteria and treat OM. This innovative strategy exhibits expedited therapeutic process of antibiotic-resistant, acute and chronic OM rats, and significant reductions in the severity of tympanic membrane (TM) inflammation, residual bacteria within the TC (0.12 *10
