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: The purpose of this study was to evaluate Eustachian tube function in patients with Behçet's disease (BD). Patients and methods: Forty-six patients (22 males, 24 females; mean age: 42.1±11.3 years; range, 19 to 64 years) with BD and 46 (21 males, 25 females; mean age: 38.5±14.8 years; range, 19 to 63 years) age- and sex-matched audiologically healthy individuals were enrolled in this cross-sectional, case-control study between June 2023 and August 2023. Demographic and clinical characteristics of participants were recorded from electronic health records. All participants completed the Eustachian tube function test and the Eustachian tube dysfunction questionnaire 7 (ETDQ-7). Binary logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the factors that predict Eustachian tube dysfunction in patients with BD. Additionally, the association between disease duration and ETDQ-7 scores was evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation. Results: The median ETDQ-7 scores were significantly higher in patients with BD than in controls (10 (7-32) Conclusion: This study showed that Eustachian tube dysfunction is more prevalent in patients with BD than in the healthy controls. However, clinical and demographic variables were not found to be associated with Eustachian tube dysfunction.
