Fluctuating hearing loss secondary to spontaneous intracranial hypotension: A case report and review of the literature.
Review in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
ObjectiveFluctuating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has multiple etiologies, most commonly Ménière's disease (MD), recurrent sudden SNHL, and autoimmune inner ear disorders. Fluctuating SNHL has rarely been described as a symptom of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH).PatientA 39-year-old previously healthy female presented with "Ménière's like" symptoms responsive to steroid treatment, which worsened during the day and improved in the supine position. Conservative treatment for MD consisting of low salt and caffeine diet and betahistine medication yielded no improvement. Secondary revision of brain imaging scans showed signs indicative of SIH, and a spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak was ultimately found and treated by a novel technique of transvenous fistula embolization by means of Onyx® glue, leading to gradual clinical improvement and near-complete resolution of symptoms.ConclusionSIH should be considered as part of the differential diagnosis of fluctuating SNHL. Clinical and radiological features should be known and sought. We suspect that early diagnosis and treatment can lead to cure and prevent permanent auditory damage.
