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

The sensation of ear fullness is a prevalent symptom encountered in clinical practice at ear clinics. It can manifest in various conditions, including external auditory canal diseases, middle ear diseases, inner ear diseases, as well as non-ear related disorders such as autonomic nervous dysfunction and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Despite extensive research efforts, the underlying mechanism of ear fullness remains complex and not fully elucidated. Furthermore, the mechanism of ear fullness varies depending on the specific anatomical site and associated disease pathology. In this article, we have conducted a comprehensive literature review to explore the mechanisms underlying ear fullness across different sites of the auditory conduction pathway. By focusing on these lesions and their correlation with ear fullness, we aim to provide an updated understanding on the etiology, diagnosis, and therapy for ear fullness-related diseases.
