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

In current scenario of Covid-19 pandemic spread of virus via aerosol generating procedures has become a special concern in otorhinolaryngology community. Motive of this study is to spread awareness of an ancient forgotten method of performing mastoidectomy through which risk of virus infection can be greatly reduced among otologic surgeons. Retrospective Observational study. Three patients of chronic otitis media with complication were operatively intervened with combined approach of otorhinolaryngology and neurosurgeons. Mastoidectomies were performed without drilling. Instruments used were small, medium and large size gouge, chisel and hammer, curettes, kerrison punches and other microscopic ear instruments. All three patients recovered well without any residual disease or cavity problems. Referring ancient practices like above in this COVID era may prove an important tool in addressing surgical urgencies while combating transmission risks at the same time. One should be vigilant and versatile in surgical techniques in order to serve the needy and save the saviours simultaneously.
