1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 article reviews otitis media with effusion (OME) in children with cleft palate (CP), the current evidence and recommendations regarding management of OME in cleft palate with a focus on interdisciplinary communication, and the impact this condition has on patients and caregivers. OME is nearly ubiquitous in children with CP due to the anatomical variation of the palatal musculature and resultant Eustachian tube dysfunction. If untreated, OME can negatively affect hearing, speech development, cognitive development, and social integration. Patients with CP have the potential to be negatively impacted by the otologic, cognitive, and psychosocial consequences of untreated chronic OME if not actively managed for this condition. Multidisciplinary management, appropriate intervention, shared decision-making, and appropriate surveillance optimize the wellbeing, cognitive development, and social progression of CP patients with OME.
