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

Gradenigo's syndrome (GS) is a rare but life-threatening complication of acute otitis media (AOM). It is classically defined as a clinical triad of acute otitis media, ipsilateral sixth (abducens) nerve palsy, and pain in the distribution of the first and second branches of the trigeminal nerve. Another rare but serious complication of AOM is venous sinus thrombosis, which is often associated with GS. The diagnosis of these conditions requires clinical suspicion, sound interpretation of signs and symptoms, and the use of the correct imaging techniques. Here, we present the case of an 81-year-old man with a previous history of recurrent otitis media, who presented with GS and septic lateral sinus thrombosis. The clinical presentation, physiopathology, and management of these conditions are discussed.
