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

Pediatric cholesteatoma occurs in one of two forms: congenital cholesteatoma, developing from embryonic epidermal cell rests or acquired cholesteatoma, associated with a focal defect in the tympanic membrane. This disease has been traditionally managed with the operating microscope, often requiring mastoidectomy for adequate visualization of and access to the middle ear and mastoid cavities. Recently, advances in endoscopic equipment have enabled otologists to manage most cases of pediatric cholesteatoma via a minimally-invasive, transcanal endoscopic approach. This review discusses the current literature relating to the etiopathogenesis, assessment and endoscopic management of pediatric cholesteatoma. Early outcomes of endoscopic treatment, emerging trends and technologies are also reviewed.
