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
Objectives: To analyze the sizes of the stapedius and tensor tympani (TT) muscles using a temporal bone CT (TBCT) scan in patients with middle ear myoclonic tinnitus (MEMT) and investigate their value for the diagnosis of this rare cause of tinnitus. Methods: Medical records and TBCT of patients with MEMT or vascular tinnitus (VT) at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital from January 2012 to December 2022 were reviewed. The stapedius and TT muscles were analyzed. Results: Thirty-eight patients with unilateral MEMT and 39 patients with VT were included. More males were in the MEMT group compared to the VT group (MEMT: Conclusion: The mean length and width of the stapedius and TT muscles measured in the MEMT group were longer and wider than the VT group. This suggests the use TBCT scan as a diagnostic tool for MEMT. Further studies with a larger study group to validate the results of this study are recommended.Level of Evidence: 4.
