Mastoid Obliteration With Freeze-Dried Bone Allograft in Canal Wall Down Tympanoplasty: Description of a Novel Technique and Case Report.
Article in Case reports in surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Mastoid obliteration can be performed after canal wall down (CWD) mastoidectomy with various materials. Homologous bone tissue harvested from cadaver donor represents a feasible option with advantages. The purpose of the study is to describe the case of a patient diagnosed with middle ear cholesteatoma treated with mastoidectomy of the CWD and mastoid obliteration with homologous freeze-dried corticocancellous bone particulate in the Cittadella Hospital Ear, Nose, Throat (ENT) unit. The preoperative characteristics of the patients, the procurement and processing of bone allografts, the surgical technique, and postsurgical outcomes are described. No perioperative and postoperative complications were observed, and no rejection or foreign body reactions occurred. The patient then underwent a seriated follow-up. Audiometric tests showed an improvement in hearing levels. The volume of the neoexternal ear canal was 2.01 cm
