Use of a 3D reconstruction model in a patient with severe atresia auris for optimal placement of Bonebridge transcutaneous bone conduction implant.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposePatients affected by severe atresia auris (AA) can be a challenge during hearing restoration surgery due to the abnormal position of vascular and nervous structures in the bone. A 3D reconstruction model of malformed temporal bones can be helpful for planning surgery and optimizing intra-, peri-, and post-operative results.
methodA 5-year-old girl with severe AA on the right side was implanted with a Bonebridge transcutaneous bone conduction implant (tBCI). 3D printing was used to reproduce the malformed temporal bone, find a good position for the tBCI and plan out the surgical details in advance. Hearing tests were performed before and after surgery and information about intra-, peri-, and post-operative outcomes were collected.
resultsThe patient did not show any negative outcomes and, thanks to the Bonebridge, completely recovered hearing on the right side.
conclusions3D printing is a useful tool for planning surgery in AA patients and for preventing possible risks related to the unknown malformed anatomy.
