Does the angle of the intsruments matter during two handed endoscopic ear surgery?
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 micro-ear instruments are designed to work with the operating oto-microscope where the principle of working depends on the magnification and the focal length of the objective lens. The focal length of the microscope allows a greater working distance for manipulation of the instruments. During the endoscopic ear surgery, the length of instrument interferes with the length of the endoscope making the working under the lens difficult. Hence reaching to the corners of the middle ear becomes impossible with the straight micro-ear instruments during endoscopic ear surgery. Hence certain modifications are required in the existing micro ear instruments so as to be used in endoscopic ear surgery.
