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

We evaluated the outcomes of resection of small acoustic neuromas using the transcanal transvestibular endoscopic approach. Two patients with a small acoustic neuroma were treated using this approach. The sizes of the tumors were 11 × 6 mm and 12 × 10 mm. Both tumors were removed completely without residual tumor tissue, and damage to the facial nerve and cochlear nerve was avoided. No patients developed postoperative vertigo, aggravation of postoperative facial paralysis, severe pain, or permanent postoperative complications. The patients were followed up for 6 months, and none developed recurrence. Resection of small acoustic neuromas by the transcanal transvestibular endoscopic approach is a simple and safe technique that achieves excellent functional results.
