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
Objective: To investigate the effect of day-case stapes surgery on hearing results, quality of life, patient satisfaction, and complications rates, compared with inpatient stapes surgery. Study Design: A single-center, nonblinded, randomized controlled trial in a tertiary referral center. Methods: One hundred twelve adult patients planned for primary or revision stapes surgery were randomly assigned to either the day-case or inpatient treatment group. The effect on hearing outcomes (primarily), hearing benefits, quality of life, patient satisfaction, postoperative complications, and causes of crossover or readmission (secondarily) were assessed using auditory evaluations, questionnaires, and patients' charts over a follow-up period of 1 year. Results: Audiometric measurements and postoperative success rates were not different between the inpatient and day-case group. There were no statistically significant differences between both groups regarding the overall quality of life (QoL) (HUI3), disease-specific QoL (GHSI), change in postoperative health status (GBI), and postoperative complications rate. We found a high patient satisfaction toward the day-case approach. Six patients allocated to the inpatient group requested same-day discharge. Of the day-case patients, there was a crossover rate to inpatient care of 38% (20 patients), mainly due to postoperative nausea and vomiting (25%), vertigo (20%), or dizziness (40%). Conclusion: We found no significant differences in outcomes of audiometric measurements, QoL, patient satisfaction and postoperative complications following day-case, and inpatient stapes surgery. Therefore, stapes surgery in a day-case setting seems to be a feasible approach in terms of postoperative outcome, safety, and desirability when taking patient selection and surgical planning into account. Besides this, the familiarity with a day-case approach of both patient and the surgical team, will increase the acceptance and feasibility of day-case stapes surgery.
