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

Purpose: To construct a symptoms-based prediction tool to assess the likelihood of superior canal dehiscence (SSCD) on high-resolution CT. Materials and methods: Mathematical modeling was employed to predict radiologic evidence of SSCD at a tertiary neurotology referral center. Results: A total of 168 patients were included, of which 118 had imaging-confirmed SSCD. On univariate analysis significant predictors of SSCD presence were: sound/pressure-induced vertigo ( Conclusions: The likelihood of SSCD on CT scan can be determined with a high degree of certainty based on symptoms recorded at presentation. Using the evidenced-based diagnostic tool validated herein, a score ≥6 with any symptom combination justifies ordering a CT scan.
