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

Rhinogenic contact point otalgia is a new term in medicine and it represents earache as a form of facial pain that is caused by intranasal mucosal contact points between the nasal septal spur or septal deviation and lateral nasal wall. It is a referred otalgia without any signs of inflammation. The author reports an unusual case of a 19-year-old male who complained of a 5-year history of right-sided otalgia and tinnitus. On physical exam, a big, right-sided nasal septal spur was seen in contact with the right lateral nasal wall. Other findings are unremarkable. Placement of anesthetic and vasoconstrictor solution provided relief of symptoms. After the exclusion of other causes of otalgia, and after surgical removal of septal spur, the patient experienced a significant relief of symptoms.
