Otitis Externa in a Newborn After Waterbirth-A Case Report Followed by a Literature Review.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2026. 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
Waterbirth has become a widely adopted alternative to a conventional delivery, with well-documented maternal benefits, but there is an ongoing debate regarding neonatal safety. We would like to report a case of a 10-day-old male neonate who developed acute otitis externa (AOE) following waterbirth. Despite the rare occurrence of this disease in children under 2 years of age, prompt diagnosis and timely initiation of appropriate therapy led to a full recovery. This case represents a previously undocumented, yet plausible, complication of waterbirth and underscores the importance of careful neonatal ear assessment and preventive measures in aquatic deliveries.
