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

objectiveInvestigate presenting features, associated surgical treatment, and outcomes in patients with cholesteatoma associated with congenital aural atresia (CAA) or stenosis (CAS).

methodsColorado Multiple Institution Review Board approval was obtained. A retrospective chart review was performed at a single tertiary care children's hospital of all pediatric patients with congenital aural atresia or stenosis with associated cholesteatoma from January 1, 2003, to October 15, 2018.

resultsOf the 278 patients identified with CAA or CAS, twelve (4.3 %) were found to have a canal cholesteatoma. There was a male predominance (8:4). Nine patients (75 %) had conductive loss and three (25 %) had mixed loss. Four patients (33.3 %) exhibited canal cholesteatomas extending into the middle ear or mastoid cavity. All patients underwent surgery, and 25 % of patients required revision canalplasty while 58 % of patients required revision surgery for cholesteatoma recidivism. The average age at the time of surgery was 11.3 ± 3.7 years.

conclusionFewer than 5 % of pediatric patients with congenital aural atresia or stenosis were diagnosed with an acquired canal cholesteatoma. The need for revision surgery was common, occurring in >50 % of cases. Screening patients with CAA/CAS for cholesteatoma with imaging is recommended to avoid the morbidity of delayed identification.
