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

Bone-anchored hearing implants, such as the Osia® system (Cochlear Deutschland GmbH, Hanover, Germany), are used to rehabilitate conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and single-sided deafness. The surgical technique presented anchors the OSI300 supraauricularly and subperiosteally over the squama temporalis, thereby avoiding the creation of an implant bed in the mastoid and reducing cosmetic contour deformity. Cranial-parietotemporal placement allows bypassing absent or previously operated bone mastoid structures. Postoperatively, the implant was proved to be stable and inconspicuous, with a significant improvement in hearing outcomes. In selected cases, this technique represents a functional and esthetic alternative to standard implant placement, particularly in patients with a history of multiple temporal bone surgeries.
