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

Aim of this paper is to present a literature review among bone conduction hearing aids particularly focusing on their surgical and functional outcomes.

methodsA detailed review of the English literature to date on bone conduction hearing aids and outcomes have been performed using Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Medline databases. The literature review was performed using the guidelines proposed by the study "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA)" for scoping review.

resultsa total of 30 full text articles were included in this review, collecting 660 patients. All the studies examined reported an improvement, in terms of PTA and speech audiometry, following the implantation of bone-conduction devices. The subjective outcome of patients was also evaluated, which was positive in terms of improved quality of life perception.

conclusionsBone conduction devices represent an excellent rehabilitative solution allowing adequate functional gain. Nowadays, the variability of devices consents an appropriate customization of the surgical indication based on the functional and general needs of the patient, to achieve a tailored approach.
