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

objectivesThe aim of the present study was to describe and evaluate the results of a new technique in endolymphatic sac decompression surgery.

methodsForty-three patients with intractable unilateral Meniere's disease were selected. Endolymphatic sac was identified after simple mastoidectomy, and its lateral layer was incised, using a sickle knife. Outer layer of the sac was turned around and placed under the anterior bony border.

resultsMean duration of the follow-up was 24 months. Mean tinnitus handicap index, pure tone average (PTA) on thresholds at 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz, mean speech reception threshold, mean speech discrimination score, hearing stage, and mean vertigo score before and after surgery were evaluated.

conclusionThe new marsupialization technique with anterior bony border is a safe and effective way to improve tinnitus, vertigo, and ear fullness among these patients. According to PTA and hearing stage, this surgery can control progressive hearing loss. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
