Diagnosis and Treatment Modalities of Cholesteatomas: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
A cholesteatoma is an abnormal, noncancerous skin growth that can appear beneath the eardrum in the center of your ear. Although it might be a congenital condition, frequent middle ear infections are the main culprit. A cholesteatoma frequently appears as a cyst or sac that exfoliates the skin's outer layers. As these dead skin cells build up, the growth can enlarge and penetrate intratemporal tissues, leading to various intracranial and extracranial difficulties that can compromise facial muscles, hearing, and balance. Cholesteatomas were recognized more than three centuries ago. A cholesteatoma can develop into a serious condition if it is not treated right away. Because of its fast development and invasive nature, it can cause several consequences, some of which can be fatal for people without access to advanced medical treatment. There are no effective nonsurgical treatments available right now. It will be necessary to have a thorough awareness of both previous developments and more current ones to develop an appropriate management approach for this condition. The background information on acquired middle ear cholesteatomas is briefly reviewed in this paper. We also take into account categorization-, epidemiology-, histology-, and pathogenesis-related difficulties, and we carefully review current management and diagnosis approaches.
