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

Despite the high success rate of autologous grafts in tympanic membrane repair, clinical alternatives are required for the closure of unresponsive chronic perforations that can lead to recurring infection and hearing loss. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches have emerged as another strategy to repair the eardrum, in addition to negating the need for donor tissue harvest and related surgical iatrogenicities. This review highlights the main approaches using biomaterials, growth factors, and cell therapies towards the healing of complex TM perforations. In addition, we discuss the challenges and advances for the development of reliable animal models, which will allow the optimisation and development of novel techniques. Finally, we indicate technologies that are currently used clinically and others that are closer to the market. The advances here discussed on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies applied to the field of TM perforations will allow otologists, surgeons, and researchers to better bring novel technologies to the bedside as well as to develop new ones.
