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

purposeThe retrolabyrinthine approach is a surgical method designed to preserve hearing after surgery. When paired with intraoperative monitoring and an endoscope, this approach has demonstrated high rates of postoperative hearing preservation. However, the long-term prognosis of hearing preservation after utilizing this approach for vestibular schwannomas remains unexplored. This study aimed to examine the long-term outcomes of preserved hearing, providing insights into the suitability of the retrolabyrinthine approach for hearing preservation surgery.

methodsThis study included 34 patients with preserved hearing after vestibular schwannoma surgery using the retrolabyrinthine approach at a single center. Long-term hearing prognosis and requirement for additional interventions were retrospectively examined.

resultsImmediate after post-operative hearing preservation rate was 71.7%. Among the 34 patients with preserved hearing post-vestibular schwannoma surgery, four (11.8%) required additional interventions. Other patients experienced a gradual deterioration in their hearing status, with an approximate 10 dB decline during the 5-year follow-up; however, a serviceable hearing level persisted long after the surgery in these individuals.

conclusionsThis study indicated the rationale for the retrolabyrinthine approach as a hearing preservation surgery for vestibular schwannomas, emphasizing its long-term hearing prognosis.
