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

purposeThis European multicentric, retrospective study aimed to analyze the short-term safety and effectiveness of the mCLIP ARC Ball Joint Prosthesis.

methodsType III Tympanoplasty with implantation of a mCLIP-ARC Partial Prosthesis was performed. During patients' follow-up, ear microscopic evaluation and pure-tone audiometry were used for analysis. The post-operative pure-tone average of the frequencies 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 kHz (PTA4) were used for calculation of the air bone gap (ABG). Adverse events (AE) were evaluated during follow-up.

results62 patients underwent implantation of the mCLIP-ARC Partial Prosthesis. 55 complete data sets were available for audiological examination. The mean follow-up time was 58 days. In two cases adverse events were recorded. The post-operative bone conduction (BC) PTA4 thresholds were stable in 96.4% of cases. The mean postoperative PTA-4 air-bone gap (ABG) was 16.5 ± 9.2 dB.

conclusionImplantation of the mCLIP ARC partial prosthesis proves to be safe and reliable. Clinical data show satisfactory audiological results and demonstrate the effectiveness of the new middle ear prosthesis with a balanced ball joint.
