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

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) remains a significant otologic condition in India, with possible intracranial and extracranial complications despite advances in therapy. Hence, this retrospective study evaluated 7,940 confirmed CSOM cases, identifying 92 (1.2%) with complications 69.6% intracranial and 47.8% extracranial, with 16 subjects presenting both types and a male-to-female ratio of 2:1. The 21-30 year age group showed the highest involvement (32.6%), with meningitis (32.6%) and subdural abscess (15.2%) as the leading intracranial and mastoiditis (37%) as the most common extracranial complication. Although improved antibiotic and surgical interventions have reduced overall incidence, mortality and morbidity remain elevated due to delayed diagnosis and intervention. Hence, we report the contemporary burden and patterns of CSOM related complications in the Indian population and emphasizing timely management to prevent severe outcomes.
