Vestibular Schwannoma Surgery with Endoscope-Assisted Retrolabyrinthine Approach under Modified Reinforced Continuous Intraoperative Monitoring for Hearing Preservation: Experience of 33 Cases in a Single Center.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Surgery for vestibular schwannoma includes various techniques such as the middle cranial fossa, suboccipital, translabyrinthine, and retrolabyrinthine approaches. The retrolabyrinthine approach does not impair the labyrinth and allows postoperative hearing preservation. Previously, we reported an endoscope-assisted retrolabyrinthine approach under reinforced continuous intraoperative monitoring for preservation of hearing and facial nerve function. However, the hearing preservation rate was relatively low in patients with long-wave V latency in the auditory brainstem response or poor otoacoustic emission response under this approach. Thus, the hearing preservation rate in such patients remains to be improved. To overcome this limitation, we modified the previous approach. In 26 of the 33 consecutive cases (79%) over the last three years, preservation of hearing equivalent to that before surgery or improved hearing was achieved. Postoperative deafness was observed in only two of the 33 cases (6%). According to previous reports, the rate of hearing preservation using the retrolabyrinthine approach is approximately 30-50%. Therefore, we have achieved a higher hearing preservation rate than that previously reported using the endoscopy-assisted retrolabyrinthine approach under reinforced continuous intraoperative monitoring. These improvements in our department are considered to be helpful for hearing preservation.
