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
This study is aimed to assess the outcome of Type-1Tympanoplasty in patients of Chronic Otitis Media (COM)- mucosal type and document the associated hearing gain and correlate it with the improvement in Quality of life (QOL) using COMOT (Chronic Otitis Media Outcome Test) 15 scoring. A hospital based prospective study was carried out in a tertiary care centre on 80 patients of mucosal type of COM. Patients were given COMOT 15 questionnaire to score the symptoms and pure tone audiometry (PTA) was done to assess hearing level. All patients underwent Type 1 Tympanoplasty via post aural approach. Patients were followed up regularly at 3rd, 6th and 12th month following surgery. QOL and PTA were reassessed during follow up visits. Among the 80 patients enrolled, 58.8% were females and 41.2% were males. The pre-operative mean value with standard deviation for ear discharge is 2.70 ± 1.02 which got reduced to 2.4 ± 1.07 by the end of 12th month. The preoperative average hearing loss in right ear was 25.15 ± 15.7 while in left ear it was 26.26 ± 16.7 which got reduced to 19.5 ± 11.01 and 20.5 ± 11.39 respectively. There was statistically significant improvement in QOL and hearing levels of all patients who underwent tympanoplasty as seen in the various parameters of postoperative COMOT 15 scoring with a
