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

importanceThis study characterizes and compares common surgical manipulations' effects on septal cartilage to understand their implications for rhinoplasty outcomes based on cell viability and cartilage health.

objectiveTo illustrate distinct differences in the impact of various surgical manipulations on septal cartilage in an in vitro septal cartilage model. A secondary objective is to better understand the chondrocyte's response to injury as well as how alterations in the extracellular matrix correspond to chondrocyte viability. DESIGN, SETTING, AND

participantsIn this bench-top in vitro porcine model using juvenile bovine septal cartilage from bovine snouts, easily obtainable septal cartilage was used to generate large numbers of homogenous cartilage specimens. Quantitative outcomes at early and late time points were cell viability, cell stress, matrix loss, and qualitative assessment through histologic examination. The study was performed at a single academic tertiary care research hospital.

interventionsFour common surgical manipulations were contrasted with a control group: crushed cartilage, scored cartilage, diced cartilage, and shaved cartilage. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Following the manipulation of the cartilage, the quantitative outcomes were glycosaminoglycan release to the media, lactate dehydrogenase release to the media, and cell death analysis through apoptosis staining. The qualitative outcomes were histologic staining of the manipulated cartilage with safranin-O/fast green stain to identify proteoglycan loss.

resultsThe crushing followed by shaving manipulations were the most damaging as indicated by increased levels of lactate dehydrogenase release, glycosaminoglycans loss, and cell death. Matrix loss did not increase until after 48 hours postinjury. Furthermore, chondrocyte death was seen early after injury and accelerated to the late time point, day 9, in all manipulations. Conversely, cell stress was found to be greater at 48 hours postinjury, which then declined to the late time point, day 9. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The crushing manipulation followed by shaving and then dicing were the most destructive methods of cartilage manipulation relative to control specimens. Collectively, these outcomes demonstrate the range of injury which occurs with all septal cartilage manipulations and can inform rhinoplasty practice to use the least damaging effective surgical manipulation to obtain the desired outcome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA.
