Congenital stapes suprastructure fixation presenting with fluctuating auditory symptoms: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundStapes ankylosis is a rare cause of conductive hearing loss, and stapes suprastructure fixation is extremely rare with fewer than 30 reported cases. Patients usually visit the clinic with non-progressive conductive hearing loss that typically began in the early years of life. CASE SUMMARY: Herein, we report a case of a 37-year-old female with an isolated stapedial suprastructure fixation. The patient presented with unusual fluctuating auditory symptoms of tinnitus, ear fullness and mixed hearing loss. Pre-operative temporal bone computed tomography findings and operative findings revealed an isolated stapedial suprastructure fixation with monopod stapes caused by elongated pyramidal eminence. The hearing threshold recovered completely, and fluctuating auditory symptoms disappeared after the surgery.
conclusionThis is the first report of stapedial suprastructure fixation with fluctuating auditory symptoms. Successful results are expected with surgical treatment.
