International Consensus Recommendations on Microtia, Aural Atresia and Functional Ear Reconstruction.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The aim of this report is to provide international recommendations for functional ear reconstruction in patients with microtia and aural atresia. All patients with microtia and external auditory atresia should be seen in the setting of a multidisciplinary team and agreed treatment outcomes should be measured, so that techniques, approaches, and results can be compared. The methods are expert opinion from the members of the International Microtia and Atresia Workgroup (IMAW). The consensus recommendations reported herein take into account the variability in practice patterns present among experts in the field; the degree of consensus was quantified by presenting the percentage of above authors who agree or partially agree with each statement. Recommendations include the definition and classification of microtia/atresia, treatment of microtia, treatment of congenital aural atresia, flowchart of functional ear reconstruction, and future research directions. Patients with microtia and aural atresia can be guided by the consensus recommendations provided herein.
