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

Since their introduction, passive percutaneous hearing aids have undergone substantial evolution, including changes in implant production, improvements in the sound processor, and simplification of surgical implantation techniques. The latest innovation comes from the minimally invasive technique proposed for the PONTO system (MIPS), which does not involve the creation of a mucoperiosteal flap in order to leave the surrounding soft tissue and vascular microcirculation intact. This study proposes a modified surgical technique compared to the one proposed for the PONTO system in order to overcome some steps of the traditional surgical technique for the placement of the Baha Connect prosthesis. Our technique does not involve any incision but the exposure of the periosteum using a skin punch and subsequent drilling without the use of any protective cannula. The described procedure allows one to overcome some steps of the traditional surgical technique and, consequently, also some post-operative complications. Moreover, a minimally invasive procedure can help reduce surgical time and the invasiveness of the application.
