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
Obstructive Adenoid enlargement is a common childhood disorder. Adenoid enlargement plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion (OME). Otitis media with effusion is the commonest cause of reversible hearing loss in children. Tympanometry was done to establish the diagnosis of OME. This study aimed to evaluate the Tympanometry findings in children pre and post adenoidectomy. This study was a prospective cohort Hospital-based study conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology between 5th of August 2020 to 5th of July, 2021. Participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria (including failed medical treatment after three months) and willing to participate were enrolled. Ethical clearance was obtained. Consented participants had Tympanometry done pre-operatively and six weeks post-operatively. A total of 190 ears (95 patients) were evaluated. In this study majority of the children (78.9%) were in the age group of 2-5 years followed by age of 6-9 years (15.8%). There were 58(61.1%) males and 37(38.9%) females. Pre-adenoidectomy, prevalence of Type A, B and C tympanograms were 36.8%, 24.7% and 38.4% respectively while post-adenoidectomy these were 82.1%,11.1% and 9.5% respectively. This study showed high prevalence of types B and C tympanograms in patients with adenoid enlargement pre-adenoidectomy with a significant reduction in the prevalence of type B and C tympanograms post-adenoidectomy. Adenoidectomy thus reduced the prevalence of types B and C tympanograms; hence a useful treatment option in children with adenoid enlargement with types B and C tympanograms.
