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

Branchial cleft abnormality is a common congenital neck malformation in children, which is caused by the abnormal development of the gill sac or gill groove. It is mainly manifested as a cyst in the sinus tract and fistula in the neck, as well as branchio-oto-renal syndrome (BORS). As a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease, the typical manifestations of BORS are hearing loss, abnormal branchial cleft development and renal dysplasia. In this paper, a patient was admitted to the hospital for bilateral branchial cleft fistulas combined with bilateral anterior auricular fistulas, auricular appendix, auricle dysplasia, external auditory canal stenosis, and hearing loss. The patient was diagnosed with BORS, and underwent fistulectomy of the neck and anterior ear, external auditory canal formation, and tympanoplasty. The aim of this report is to strengthen clinicians' understanding of BORS and reduce the rate of clinical missed diagnosis through our case report and literature review.
