Influence of Bone Conduction Hearing Implantation on Health-Related Quality of Life for Patients with Chronic Otitis Media.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundChronic otitis media is a major public health burden that can result in a disabling hearing loss. Bone conduction hearing implants are an accepted form of hearing rehabilitation in these patients, but evidence supporting their usage typically comes from studies investigating mixed indications. The objective of our study was to examine how these devices impact health-related quality of life and hearing-disability in adult patients suffering from chronic otitis media.
methodsHealth Utilities Index-mark III (
resultsPatients demonstrated a clinically relevant mean utility gain of 0.145 following implantation and clinically relevant mean improvement in global speech spatial and qualities of hearing score following implantation.
conclusionsBone conduction implantation was found to improve hearing and health-related quality of life and reduce hearing disability in a small cohort of patients with chronic otitis media. These data highlight the importance of providing appropriate hearing rehabilitation for individuals with chronic otitis media.
