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
Objectives: Our objective is to evaluate the prevalence of tympanic membrane (TM) retractions and management of signs of Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) in both children and adults following type 1 tympanoplasty or myringoplasty. Furthermore, to identify potential risk factors for developing ETD and TM retractions. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 423 patients (5-86 years of age) undergoing 452 procedures. We extracted data from electronic patient journals during scheduled consultations to calculate prevalences and relative risks. The project was reported to the Danish Data Protection Authority, and access to electronic patient journals was approved by the Institutional Board of Gødstrup Hospital. Results: At 1 year postoperative follow-up, the prevalence of TM retractions was 12.7% and ETD manifestations without a concurrent TM retraction was 4.2%. The graft failure rate was 11.0%. Risk factors for developing TM retractions included preoperative myringosclerosis, history of ipsilateral ear surgery, posterior perforations, and use of perichondrium graft. Conversely, previous contralateral ear surgery and temporal fascia graft use were associated with decreased risk. ETD manifestations were significantly increased in cases of preoperative bilateral perforation, history of ipsilateral ventilation tube, and traumatic TM perforation. Conclusions: TM retractions accounted for 12.7%, ETD manifestations without a concurrent TM retraction 4.2%, and graft failure 11.0%. The dynamic nature of these complications necessitates diligent follow-up strategies. Level of evidence: Level 4.
