Comparative Analysis of Endoscopic and Microscopic Myringoplasty.
Article in International archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Introduction: Myringoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at reconstructing the tympanic membrane, restoring acoustic protection to the round window, and improving sound conduction to enhance hearing, and prevent recurrent infections or otorrhea. This procedure can be performed either through microscopy or endoscopy. Objective: To compare the outcomes of endoscopic myringoplasty and microscopic myringoplasty. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from the electronic medical records of patients who underwent myringoplasty either through microscopy or videoendoscopy at Hospital do Servidor Público Estadual de São Paulo (HSPE) between December 2015 and December 2020. We evaluated the therapeutic success rate, defined as tympanic membrane closure, the variation in the pre- and postoperative speech recognition threshold (SRT), and the incidence of immediate and late complications in each group. Results: We included 118 patients: 64 underwent microscopic myringoplasty (group 1) and 54, videoendoscopic myringoplasty (group 2). The groups were comparable in terms of mean age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). The surgical success rates were similar between the 2 groups: group 1: 70.3%; and group 2: 75.9% ( Conclusion: Microscopic and endoscopic myringoplasty yielded similar tympanic membrane closure rates. However, the videoendoscopic procedures resulted in lower SRT reduction, while the microscopic procedures resulted in a higher rate of immediate postoperative complications. Level Of Evidence: 3.
