Outpatient management of cholesteatoma with canal wall reconstruction tympanomastoidectomy.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07434323 (Benefits of Lavender Essential Oil Aromatherapy in the Management of Preoperative Anxiety in Patients Undergoing Surgical Excision of Melanoma or Epithelioma), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Objectives: The postoperative wound infection rate for canal wall reconstruction (CWR) tympanomastoidectomy with mastoid obliteration in the treatment of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma has been reported to be 3.6%. Postoperative administration of 24-48 hours of intravenous antibiotics has been recommended. We aim to determine the infection rate of CWR with postoperative outpatient oral antibiotics. Study Design: Institutional review board-approved retrospective case review. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Results: 51 patients underwent CWR followed by outpatient oral antibiotics with a mean age of 25.9 years (16 patients were less than 10 years old). There were no postoperative wound infections. Outpatient antibiotics showed non-inferiority to IV antibiotic historic controls (0% vs. 3.6%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0-6.09%; Conclusions: The infection rate after CWR tympanomastoidectomy with use of outpatient antibiotics is low and is non-inferior to a historic cohort treated with inpatient intravenous antibiotics. A larger randomized controlled trial is warranted. Level of Evidence: 4.
