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

Studies from developed countries show the prevalence of permanent childhood hearing loss to be 1 to 2 per thousand children. The estimated number of Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialists and otologists in India were 7000 and 2000. There is a great need for trained CI surgeons to care for that burden. Currently, only a handful of centres in the country provide CI training. This study aims to put together essential and desirable requisites for a clinical fellowship in CI surgery for ENT surgeons. A questionnaire was prepared and validated by 25 senior CI surgeons in India. Then the sixteen-question questionnaire was prepared and administered to 100 practising CI Surgeons (Group A) and 100 probable CI Fellowship Candidates (Group B). Group B involved surgeons currently pursuing their ENT post-graduation or have completed their postgraduate training and are inclined towards otology and CI surgery in the future. The responses ranged from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree) on a Likert Scale. The responses from both groups were analyzed, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software. The results were analysed and tabulated from both groups. The weighted mean response and mean opinion to all the questions were calculated for both groups. Based on the response, "Essential" and "Desirable" criteria are given.
