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.

Abstract
purposeThis multicentric, retrospective study provides safety and performance data of the MED-EL total ossicular replacement prostheses (TORP).
methodsPatients underwent tympanoplasty with mXACT Total Prosthesis Center, mXACT Total Prosthesis Offcenter or mXACT PRO Total Prosthesis. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up examination included access to the medical record (for adverse events) of the patients, ear microscopy and pure-tone audiometry to determine the post-operative pure tone average of the frequencies 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz (PTA
results103 patients were implanted with a TORP. 102 (88 adults, 14 children; 37 CHL, 64 MHL, 1 not specified) patients were analyzed for safety and 92 (79 adults, 13 children) patients for performance of the prostheses. ADVERSE EVENTS RESULTS (N = 102): In 1 patient (child, mXACT Total Prosthesis Offcenter) a prosthesis dislocation was reported, which lead to a revision surgery. No prosthesis extrusion or migration was reported. AUDIOLOGICAL RESULTS (N = 92): 49 (53.3%) of the 92 patients had a PTA
conclusionThe MED-EL TORPs are safe and effective for middle ear reconstruction. Trial registration number NCT05565339, September 09, 2022, retrospectively registered.
