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

Actinomycosis is an uncommon infection of the middle ear.Actinomycosis of ear can mimic other common diagnosis of middle ear. The treatment of actinomycosis of the middle ear differs from that of otitis media caused by aerobic bacteria, therefore an accurate diagnosis is necessary. We present a case of actinomycosis of middle ear in a 36-year-old female. Cortical mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty was performed and the patient is well on follow up. Because of its rarity, case has been reported. Middle ear actinomycosis is a rare and treatable condition. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to prevent complications and ensure a favourable outcome.
