Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire Score Changes at 6 and 12 Weeks: Follow-Up Implications.
Article in OTO open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) can cause symptoms such as aural fullness, hearing loss, and tinnitus, and the Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) is used to assess symptom burden. Balloon dilation of the eustachian tube (BDET) is a treatment for chronic obstructive ETD (OETD) in patients who fail medical therapy, yet optimal postoperative follow-up timing remains unclear. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 28 patients who underwent BDET between 2017 and 2024, analyzing ETDQ-7 scores at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant improvement from baseline to 6 weeks (
