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

purposeTo investigate skin-related postoperative outcomes following a tissue preservation technique in percutaneous hydroxyapatite-coated bone-anchored hearing aid (BAHA) abutment implantation.

methodsA retrospective medical records review of adult patients, who underwent single-stage BAHA implantation between July 2013 and November 2017 at a tertiary centre was conducted. Surgical procedures were performed by a single surgeon using a linear incision soft tissue preservation technique. Patients were reviewed at 1 week, 4 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and annually postoperatively and soft tissue reactions were graded using Holger's score

resultsThere were 102 patients included with a slight female preponderance (female:male 56:46). There were 586 follow-up episodes during the study period. From the recorded follow-up episodes, Holger's scores were documented as follows: Holger score 0 (89%); 1 (7%); 2 (2%); 3 (1.9%). Three patients (3%) required peri-abutment soft tissue excision (Holger 3) and insertion of longer abutments. One patient (1%) reported atraumatic implant loss. The BAHA was re-implanted in two patients (2%) due to traumatic dislodgement. There was a statistically significant association (p = 0.009) when the mean time to minor skin complications was compared with mean time to a significant skin reaction.

conclusionTissue preservation technique is the procedure of choice for BAHA abutment implant surgery. It confers excellent soft tissue outcomes and an excellent implant survival rate.
