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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesWe review the intraoperative findings and postoperative outcomes of ossiculoplasty in subjects with second pharyngeal arch (SPA)-derived ossicular anomalies. We summarize potential intraoperative complications and recommend precautions that may reduce the risk of fracture. MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty-four patients with SPA-derived ossicular anomalies were included, and pre- and postoperative audiometric results were compared.

resultsThe mean air conduction threshold (56.0 ± 12.4 dB HL) was significantly improved 1 month (27.6 ± 10.1 dB HL) and 6 months (23.8 ± 13.2 dB HL) after surgery (

conclusionsThe stapes footplate is likely to be relatively thin in subjects with SPA-derived ossicular anomalies because the footplate is partially or totally derived from the SPA. Thus, a fragile footplate should be expected, and care is needed when handling the footplate. However, when complications are overcome, the audiological outcomes are excellent in most cases.
