Efficacy of combined tympanostomy tube insertion and adenoidectomy in the treatment of otitis media with effusion in children.

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
Objective: To assess the efficacy of combined tympanostomy tube insertion (TTI) and adenoidectomy (Ad) Methods: Clinical data of 145 children with OME who underwent surgical treatment in Jiaxing University Affiliated TCM Hospital from January 2022 to November 2023, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped based on whether or not Ad was performed with TTI: children who underwent Ad alone were grouped as Ad group (n=71), and children who underwent a combined TTI and Ad were grouped as TTI+Ad group (n=74). Clinical efficacy, clinical indicators (recovery of hearing, disappearance of tinnitus, eardrum healing, and disappearance time of middle ear effusion), serum levels of inflammatory factors, recurrence, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results: Combined TTI+Ad resulted in a significantly better therapeutic effect three months after the surgery compared Ad alone ( Conclusions: Compared to Ad alone, combined TTI+Ad treatment is equally safe and more effective in the treatment of OME in children. This surgical approach is associated with reduced local inflammatory reactions and lower recurrence rate.
