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

The role of endoscope has been changing from that being an adjuvant during microear surgery to the exclusive endoscopic middle ear surgery. However the only disadvantage of endoscopic ear surgery is its single handed technique as the non-dominant hand is used to hold the endoscope. We propose the concept and design of our portable endoscope holder for two handed endoscopic ear surgery. It is based on the gas spring action and rack and pinion system which act as a third arm to hold the endoscope. The novel portable endoscope holder bears the potential to provide benefits for various two handed endoscopic ear nose and throat surgeries. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-022-03246-3.
