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

purposeThe main aim of this retrospective computed tomography (CT) study was to examine the morphometric development of the geniculate ganglion (GG) in children aged between 1 and 18 years for surgical approaches.

methodsThis study was placed on 41 patients (20 females and 21 males) including cochlear implantation cases aged from one to 18 (at mean, 6.44 ± 5.79) years. All the measurements belonging to the length, width and area of GG were performed with a CT scanner.

resultsThe morphometric values of GG were not different in terms of sex or side, statistically (p > 0.05). The length (p = 0.155) of GG was not correlated with the increasing ages from one to 18 years; however, its area (p < 0.001) and width (p = 0.003) were found to be increased in the childhood period. Linear functions for the length, width and area of GG were calculated as y = 2.028 + 0.011 × age (years), y = 1.496 + 0.014 × age (years), and y = 3.239 + 0.035 × Age (years), respectively. The dehiscence of GG was found in 22 (26.8%) out of 82 temporal bones.

conclusionOur data suggested that the area and width of GG were progressively increasing with age in the childhood period. The calculated formula representing the growth dynamic of GG in children and the incidence of the presence of the dehiscent GG can be useful for radiologists and otologists to estimate its size and to avoid iatrogenic injury during early childhood surgeries.
