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

We report the technique of two handed transcanal endoscopic ossiculoplasty using tragal cartilage in the form of boomerang as an option for total ossicular replacement in absence of stapes superstructure. In this technique, the vertical strut is fashioned as a boomerang and measures 10 mm in length and 2 mm in breadth. A partial thickness cut is made on the vertical strut at 4-4.5 mm along the length so that it can be bent into boomerang, one end of which is placed on the stapes footplate and the other part rests in the hypotympanum. This stable assembly is placed on the footplate of the stapes (when all ossicles are absent). Tympanic membrane reconstruction is performed with or without attic reconstruction, using sliced tragal cartilage of 0.5 mm thickness. Boomerang ossiculoplasty is good option in cases of absent stapes providing a stable assembly. The use of endoscope holder during ear surgery gives additional advantages of panoramic view of middle ear spaces due to use of endoscope along with benefits of two handed technique (similar to microscopic ear surgery). Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-021-02854-9.
