Autoincudotomy as an uncommon etiology of conductive hearing loss: Case report and review of literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Ossicular pathology is a recognized etiology of conductive hearing loss. Ossicular pathology includes 2 main categories, that is, ossicular chain fixation and ossicular discontinuity. Ossicular discontinuity can be congenital or acquired. Auto-incudotomy is an uncommon form of acquired ossicular discontinuity that usually occurs as a sequel of spontaneous expulsion of cholesteatoma. Typically, it manifests with conductive hearing loss without evidence of cholesteatoma. In this report, we presented CT imaging finding of a 34-year-old male with tympanic membrane perforation and defective long process of the incus (auto-incudotomy) with minimal middle ear granulation tissue and adhesions, sequela of cholesteatoma. Radiologists should pay attention for evaluation of ossicles especially in patients presented with conductive hearing loss.
