Clinical Application of the SAMEO-ATO Classification and Analysis of the Correlation Between Individual Subgroups and Surgery Duration.

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: Tympanomastoid surgery, encompassing intricate middle ear and mastoid procedures, necessitates a standardized classification system to ensure consistent documentation, enhance comparability, and improve outcome analysis across different clinical settings. The SAMEO-ATO classification, established by the International Otology Outcome Group (IOOG), provides a comprehensive framework that categorizes surgical interventions into key components, covering both mastoid operations (SAMEO) and middle ear surgeries (ATO). Methods: We analyzed correlations between specific subgroups within the SAMEO-ATO framework and the duration of surgery. Data were retrospectively collected from 300 patients at a university hospital, categorized according to the SAMEO-ATO classification, and statistically analyzed to determine associations between subgroups and operative time. Results: Our findings indicated that the type of surgical approach (e.g., endaural vs Conclusions: The results suggest that the SAMEO-ATO classification can serve as a valuable predictive tool for estimating procedural complexity in tympanomastoid surgery. These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the utility of the SAMEO-ATO classification in otological practice and underscore its potential as a framework for outcome-oriented research in middle ear and mastoid surgery.
