The radioanatomical assessment of the Körner's septum.
Article in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purpose of the studyKörner's septum (KS) is a developmental remnant formed at the junction of mastoid and temporal squama, representing the persistence of the petrosquamosal suture. During mastoid surgery, it could be taken as a false medial wall of the antrum so that the deeper cells might not be explored. The aim of the study was to assess a Körner's septum prevalence and to analyze its topography.
methodsThe study was performed on 80 sets of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of temporal bone (41 male, 39 female, 160 temporal bones). Körner's septum was identified and its thickness was measured on axial sections at three points: at the level of superior semicircular canal (SCC), at the level of head of malleus (HM) and at the level of tympanic sinus (TS).
resultsKS was encountered at least in one point of measurements in 50 out of 80 sets of CBCT images (62.5%). The average thickness at the level of SCC was 0.87 ± 0.34 mm, at the level of HM was 0.99 ± 0.37 mm and at the level of TS was 0.52 ± 0.17 mm.
conclusionsKörner's septum is a common structure in the temporal bone-air cell complex. It is more often encountered in men. In half of the patients, it occurs bilaterally. However, in most of the cases it is incomplete with anterior and superior portions being the most constant.
