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
purposeAcute bacterial rhinosinusitis (ABRS) and acute otitis media (AOM) are common diseases in pediatric populations that rarely lead to intracranial infection and/or orbital complications. The incidence of these complications has increased in recent years and the main aim of this study is to analyze the tendency of this increase during the pandemic years, compared with the pre-pandemic era and to propose our management of ABRS and AOM.
methodClinical data from children, admitted to our hospital during the period from January 2018 to March 2024 with a diagnosis of complicated ABRS and AOM was collected. The sample was divided into two groups: Group A (January 2018- December 2020) and Group B (January 2021- March 2024).
resultsThe retrospective cohort consisted of 35 patients, seven patients (20%) belong to Group A, twenty-eight patients (80%) belong to Group B. 67.9% of subjects during the COVID-19 era tested positive for SARS CoV-2 infection on average 5.5 months prior to hospital admission. Statistical analysis showed that there was a sharp increase in surgical cases of complicated AOM and complicated ABRS, after the lock-down period, compared to the previous years.
conclusionThe main findings of the present study are the significant increase of complicated ABRS and AOM as well as severe complications requiring surgical treatment, after the COVID-19 pandemic.
