Use of granules of biphasic ceramic in rehabilitation of canal wall down mastoidectomy.
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, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
The objective of this study is to evaluate the anatomical and functional results of rehabilitation of canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomy using granules of biphasic ceramic. This is a study design retrospective in a tertiary referral centre Fifty-seven patients (59 ears) operated on between 2006 and 2010 of mastoid obliteration with granules of biphasic ceramic (TricOs, Maurepas, France) have been included (55 revisions and 4 first surgeries). Forty-six patients presented already a CWD mastoidectomy. The mean pre-operative bone conduction (BC) was 29 ± 3.4 dB (mean ± SEM) and mean air conduction (AC) was 57 ± 3.2 dB. Cholesteatoma was found in 33 cases. All but seven cases had post-operative otoscopy examination at 1, 3, 6 months, and 1 year postoperative with a CT scan and pure tone audiometry. Mean follow-up was 14 ± 1.8 months (3-35). At one-year follow-up (n = 52), 47 cases (90 %) presented well-healed external auditory canal. Five cases (10 %) of uncovered granules without sign of infection of external auditory canal skin were observed. Mean post-operative threshold was 25 ± 1.8 and 46 ± 1.9 dB for BC and AC , respectively (n = 47). CT scan (n = 42) showed no opacity suggesting residual disease within or behind obliteration. Mastoid obliteration with granules of biphasic ceramic is a safe and effective procedure that allows restoration of a near normal external auditory canal.
