Patulous Eustachian Tube and Otitis Media With Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-Associated Vasculitis (OMAAV).
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis that affects small to medium-sized vessels. We describe two cases of patulous Eustachian tube (PET) in patients with otitis media with ANCA-associated vasculitis (OMAAV). The two cases presented in this paper had previously been diagnosed with Eustachian tube (ET) stenosis, and both presented with bilateral aural fullness, with one also experiencing postnasal drip and hearing loss. Both patients experienced positive myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA and negative proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA, and treatment for ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) resulted in a diagnosis of PET. The patients were treated with transnasal self-installation of physiological saline into the pharyngeal orifice of the ET. This paper highlights the importance of considering PET in the differential diagnosis of OMAAV patients presenting with aural fullness.
