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

backgroundSurgical strategies for cochlear implantation in patients with chronic otitis media (COM) are diverse and largely depend on the extent of the underlying pathology.

aimTo develop a high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)-based algorithm for guiding surgical strategy using correlations between imaging and operative findings.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the preoperative HRCT scans of 12 consecutive adult patients (

resultsPreoperative HRCT accurately predicted the necessary surgical approach in all cases in our cohort. Disease limited to the epitympanum with an intact posterior canal wall required a canal wall-up surgical approach (

conclusionPreoperative HRCT reliably predicts the required surgical approach in COM. The proposed imaging-based algorithm may help standardize planning for successful cochlear implantation.
