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

purposeRetro-auricular approach using an autologous graft is the main surgical method for myringoplasty (MPL). Endaural and transcanal or endoscopic approaches are also used. There is no definitive consensus on the best MPL surgical technique. The aim of this study is to compare the two most used technique, over and underlay MPL, to evaluate the difference in anatomical and functional outcomes. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe made a retrospective analysis of 497 adult patients who underwent underlay or overlay primary MPL, between 2010 and 2018, and evaluated the difference in anatomical and functional outcomes.

resultsSuccessful functional results, evaluated 18 months after surgery, were obtained in 380 patients (76,4%); the underlay MPL obtained a successful result in 85% of patients, while the overlay technique in the 68%. We observed anatomical failure in 13.4% patients, in detail 9,8% of underlay MPL and 17,2% of overlay MPL had an anatomical failure.

conclusionOur results show less complications related to the underlay technique. We believe that this remains the technique to prefer, except in subtotal or wide anterior perforations that could be better managed using the overlay technique.
