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

purposeAim of the study was to evaluate if the introduction of the imaging checklist TeSLANO would improve the identification of crucial anatomical findings from temporal bone computed tomography (TBCT) scans among a cohort of Otolaryngology residents. STUDY

designSingle-blinded prospective cohort study.

settingTertiary care university hospital and referral center for otology and skull base surgery.

methodsThe cohort was composed by eight Otorhinolaryngology residents (four junior and four senior) that were individually asked to identify all relevant anatomic findings from preoperative TBCT scans. Supervising surgeon showed to each resident four TBCT scans before and four after the introduction of a systematic checklist evaluation system based on the TeSLANO acronym. Statistical analysis was performed using McNemar's test and results were considered significant with a P value < 0.05.

resultsIntroduction of the checklist improved global identification of critical anatomical structures from 48.75 to 89.17% (P < 0.05). The postimplementation identification percentage improved for both the senior and junior groups (P < 0.05).

conclusionsThe imaging checklist TeSLANO allows a systematic approach to review TBCT scans and significantly improves identification of critical anatomical structures in Otorhinolaryngology residents.
