Bone conduction implants and active middle ear implants for adults.
Review in Science progress. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hearing loss is the third most significant cause of disability globally and is associated with anxiety, depression, loneliness, and cognitive decline. For those unable to utilize conventional hearing aids due to conditions such as ear canal atresia, eczema, recurrent external otitis or extensive ear surgery, implantable hearing aids provide an alternative. This narrative review provides an overview of available bone conduction devices and active middle ear implants. The rapid advancements in implantable hearing aid technology necessitate ongoing education of healthcare professionals to enable informed patient decisions.
