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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of integrating osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in the acute postsurgical care of patients after vestibular schwannoma resection. Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study took place at a single tertiary care academic health center with a high-volume vestibular schwannoma program. Adults 18 years or older who underwent primary microsurgical resection of a vestibular schwannoma between November 2017 and October 2021 were included in the study. Patients were grouped by exposure to postoperative OMT, defined as receiving at least 1 OMT session during the postresection admission. The primary outcome measure was total inpatient length of stay (days), and the secondary outcome measures were daily and total opioid use (morphine milligram equivalents). Results: There were 502 patients included in this study, 284 (57%) received OMT during their postresection hospitalization. The 2 groups were similar in demographics (except race, Conclusions: Receiving OMT after vestibular schwannoma resection is associated with a shorter length of stay and less daily opioid use.
