Bridging form and function: A bilateral auricular prosthesis.

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
Unfortunate loss or absence of an ear has a far-reaching impact on an individual psyche. Auricular defects are seen commonly due to trauma, congenital abnormalities, and malignancies which result in disfigurment of the pinna. Rehabilitation of an auricular defect with a custom-made auricular prosthesis improves social acceptance and self-confidence in an individual. Auricular defects present reconstructive challenges, especially if they are bilateral. Surgical reconstruction provides effective results for defects; however, for some patients, surgical intervention is contraindicated. This case report describes an innovative technique to rehabilitate patients with auricular defects with mixed hearing loss and bilateral microtia using a multidisciplinary approach. The patient was provided with a functional auricular prosthesis. The prime purpose of the treatment rendered was to restore the lost auricular structure to the patient's satisfaction comfortably and cost-effectively. An early rehabilitation promotes physical as well as psychological healing of the patient.
