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

Objective: To introduce a novel method of modified through and through suture with collagen sutures in conjunction with anterior chondrectomy of auricular pseudocyst and assess its therapeutic efficacy. Subjects and Methods: The study comprised 87 patients with unilateral auricular pseudocyst, treated in our department from December 2019 to November 2021. Following anterior chondrectomy of the cyst, modified through and through suture was performed using collagen sutures. Evaluation of successful resolution of the problem, assessment of complications, recurrence, and ultimate ear cosmesis was undertaken with a minimum of 6 months follow-up. Results: There were 83 males and 4 females, ages ranged from 26-78 years old, with a median age of 41 years. The right and left ears were affected in, 52 and 35 patients, respectively. Local skin color deepening was found in 15 patients within 3 months, which returned to normal within 5 months. During the follow-up, such complications as anaphylaxis, hematocele in the surgical cavity, incision infection, and deformity were not observed in any patients. All patients were cured with a single operation without relapse. Conclusion: The modified through and through suture with collagen sutures in conjunction with anterior chondrectomy of an auricular pseudocyst is characterized by a straightforward, single-stage operation, with no relapses, few complications, restoration of normal ear cosmesis, and high patient acceptance.
