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

Mastoid air cell fluid is a commonly seen, but often dismissed finding. Given the location of the mastoid portion of the temporal bone and its location adjacent to vital structures, a careful evaluation is important for the emergency radiologist. While occasionally benign, fluid within the mastoid air cells can be an early sign of more severe pathology, and familiarity of regional anatomy allows for early identification of disease spread. This article describes the important anatomy, the common pathologies, and a radiologic approach to assessing the mastoid air cells in order to guide referring clinicians.
