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

Endoscopic ear surgery has been widely performed in China since 2015 due to the development and rapid popularization of endoscopic technology. Due to the relative shortness of the auditory meatus, only a fixed endoscope is required in many cases, rather than a motion similar to a nasal endoscope, and uncontrollable bleeding is virtually non-existent. Compared to microscopy, endoscopy allows for rapid and flexible changes in the field of view, eliminating the need for bone grinding. On these grounds, the advantages of endoscopy in ear surgery have been largely recognized. At the same time, physicians have become more rational about expanding indications for endoscopic ear surgery due to limitations such as single-handed surgery. The debate and standardization surrounding endoscopic ear surgery is ongoing. This review focuses on the current status and development of endoscopic ear surgery in China, discusses the advantages, limitations, and prospects of endoscopic ear surgery.
