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

Intracranial consequences from chronic otitis media can be dreadful. Meningitis is the most frequent complication followed by a cerebral abscess. In this pre-antibiotic era, otogenic brain abscess is rare, but it poses one of the life-threatening complications of otitis media. In recent years, brain abscess was noticed almost only in patients of chronic Otitis media with cholesteatoma. A case of a 36-year-old non-diabetic male patient with an otogenic cerebellar abscess, who presented with no cerebellar signs and unique intraoperative ossicular chain status was successfully managed by a combined approach of otolaryngology and neurosurgery, is presented in this report.
