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

Background: Third window syndrome is a vestibular-cochlear disorder in humans in which a third mobile window of the otic capsule creates changes to the flow of sound pressure energy through the perilymph/endolymph. The nature and location of this third mobile window can occur at many different sites (or multiple sites); however, the most common third mobile window is superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD). There are two essential objective diagnostic characteristics needed to validate a model of SSCD: the creation of a pseudoconductive hearing loss and cVEMP increased amplitude and decreased threshold. Methods: Adult Mongolian gerbils ( Results: The SSCD created a significant worsening of hearing thresholds of the left ear; especially in the lower frequency domain (1-4 kHz). Left (EXP)/right (CTL) ear comparisons Conclusion: The large (2 mm) SSCD used in our gerbil model results in similar electrophysiologic findings observed in patients with SSCD. The changes observed also reverse and return to baseline as the SSCD heals by bone resurfacing (with the lumen intact). Hence, this model does not require a second surgical procedure to plug the SSCD.
