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

objectiveThe surgical strategy of cholesteatomas is still controversial. This study aimed to compare the hearing improvement and determine the prognostic factors between endoscopic and microscopic ear surgery for attic cholesteatoma via a multicenter retrospective study.

methodsThis retrospective study included 169 patients with attic cholesteatoma who received endoscopic ear surgery (EES) or microscopic ear surgery (MES) from 12 otorhinolaryngology centers. Hearing improvement between EES and MES was evaluated, including the postoperative pure tone average (PTA) and air-bone gap (A-B Gap), as well as the hearing threshold across the low-, mid-, and high-frequency. The success rate of grafts was collected. Linear regression was performed to access the prognostic value of preoperative PTA and A-B Gap. Patients were followed up for at least 3 years.

resultsThe graft success rate of EES was 89.66% (78/87) versus 80.49% (66/82) for MES. The postoperative PTA and A-B Gap demonstrated significant improvement in EES compared to MES (Post-PTA:

conclusionsEES showed higher graft success rate, better hearing improvement, shorter surgical times and hospital stays for attic cholesteatoma, particularly without stapes superstructure involvement. The range of preoperative PTA and A-B Gap have shown the prognostic value, which maybe a favorable surgical indication for EES or MES.
