Analysis of long-term functional results of radical mastoidectomy.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
We performed a long-term, retrospective, non-controlled study on the functional results of mastoidectomy (both radical and modified radical) and defined the relevant statistical factors that may influence the hearing outcome. In a cohort of 200 patients, we performed both radical and modified radical mastoidectomy (MRM) and followed them clinically for a period of 8.12 years. The functional results were defined by the analytical function of the severity and the period of evolution of the disease. These parameters were defined by assessing the pre-operative absolute hearing threshold (AHT), bone conduction threshold (BCT) and age of the patient at the moment of the operation. The two parameters evolved inversely proportional to the functional results and represented a complete and precise analytical tool. The global average hearing gain ratio was 32% and the ratio for unmodified pre-operative hearing (
