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

Here we present a case study of a 75-year-old hypertensive elderly male suffering from right-sided malignant otitis externa with right-sided grade V facial nerve palsy. Malignant otitis externa is an uncommon but critically and extremely challenging kind of disease, along with the involvement of cranial nerves. The main aim of our case study is to highlight and explain the novelty impacts, efficacy, and role of physical therapy interventions and rehabilitation strategies in this case. The assessment consists of observations and structural impairments assessed through proper assessment strategies. The outcome measures used here are the House-Brackmann Facial Nerve Scale and the Sunnybrook Facial Grading Scale.
