Role of laryngopharyngeal reflux in the etiology of otitis media with effusion in children.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesTo analyze the relationship between laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) represented by pepsin and trypsin, and pathogenesis of otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with adenoid hypertrophy.
methodsChildren with OME who required adenoidectomy and tympanostomy/tympanostomy tubes placement were enrolled in OME group, whereas children with adenoid hypertrophy (AH) who only required adenoidectomy were enrolled in AH group, respectively. Pepsin and trypsin concentrations were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in adenoid tissue from the OME and AH groups. Pepsin and trypsin concentrations were also evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in middle ear effusion (MEE) and plasma from the OME group.
resultsThe size of adenoids and the concentrations of pepsin and trypsin in the adenoid tissue between the OME group and the AH group had no statistically significant differences. The concentrations of pepsin and trypsin in MEE were 157.30 ± 182.59ng/mL and 1144.79 ± 1302.85ng/mL, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the serum (P <.05). Furthermore, the concentration of trypsin in MEE was significantly higher than that of pepsin (P <.05).
conclusionsThe concentrations of pepsin and trypsin in adenoids cannot be used as separate evaluation indicators for whether OME will be concurrented. In addition, pepsin and trypsin in MEE are probably caused by LPR and may be involved in the pathogenesis of OME. And, trypsin may have a greater destructive effect on the middle ear cavity.
