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

Subtotal petrosectomy (STP) is characterized by obliteration of the middle ear and occlusion of the external auditory canal. The advent of the endoscope has allowed a reduction in morbidity for some conditions such as cholesteatoma and other middle ear disorders, but STP still plays an important role. A retrospective review of medical records and videos of patients who had undergone STP was performed. Perioperative data and images were collected from various clinical cases who had undergone subtotal petrosectomy at our tertiary referral university hospital in Verona. We confronted our experience with a review of the literature to present the main indications for this type of procedure. STP allows a variety of diseases to be managed effectively as it offers the possibility of a definitive healing with radical clearance of temporal bone. Moreover, it can be safely combined with other procedures with a very low complication rate. Although the endoscope represents a revolution in ear surgery, STP, when indicated, is nowadays a surgical option that should be included in the otosurgeon's portfolio.
