Evidence of air-conduction transmission pathway and strategized transtemporal operative techniques for venous pulsatile tinnitus: Combining water occlusion test and operative sensing applications.

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
objectives(1) To establish evidence of the transmission pathway of venous pulsatile tinnitus (PT) associated with sigmoid sinus wall anomalies (SSWAs) and (2) quantify the efficacy of transtemporal surgery.
methodsThis retrospective study included 33 surgical cases of PT associated with SSWAs and 15 controls with venous PT without SSWAs. Quantitative water occlusion test (q-WOT) and imaging data were acquired for preoperative evaluation prior to strategized transtemporal osteovascular reconstruction surgery. A condenser microphone and hydrophone were intraoperatively deployed to assess and monitor in vivo amplitude variations of the PT in eight participants.
resultsA total of 23 (69.6%) participants with SSWA responded to the q-WOT with a median solution volume of 1.3 (1.1/1.6), which significantly differed from that observed in controls (
conclusionIntraoperative application of acoustic sensors revealed that PT associated with SSWAs is predominantly transmitted via the air-conduction pathway. If objective findings such as q-WOT and sensing applications suggest that the transmission of venous PT is involved in middle ear air conduction, the reconstruction technique should be prioritized; if less involvement of middle ear air-conduction is indicated, addressing flow pathologies may be imperative for resolving venous PT. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.
