Head-to-Head Comparison Between
Article in Journal of otolaryngology - head & neck surgery = Le Journal d'oto-rhino-laryngologie et de chirurgie cervico-faciale. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05994768 (Comparison of the Performance of 18F-FDG PET/CT With That of Labeled Leukocyte Scintigraphy in the Follow-up of Malignant Otitis Externa.), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundNecrotizing otitis externa (NOE) is a rare disease associated with high morbidity and mortality, and there is currently no available accurate biomarker to assess treatment responses. The aim of the current study was to evaluate and directly compare the diagnostic performances of 18-Fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (
methodsConsecutive patients with NOE who underwent
resultsSeventeen patients (74.0 ± 10.6 years old, 5 women) were included. The best diagnostic performances were obtained with the PET maximum standardized uptake value (SUV
conclusion
trial registrationThe institutional ethics committee (Comité d'Ethique du CHRU de Nancy) approved the evaluation of retrospective patient data, and the trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (n°2023PI003-404).
