Branchio-oto-renal syndrome in a young Han Chinese female: a case report and review of the literature.
Review in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. 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
backgroundBranchio-oto-renal syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by branchial arch anomalies, hearing loss, and renal dysplasia. Its diagnosis remains challenging due to clinical heterogeneity and overlapping features with other syndromes. This case report aims to enhance awareness of branchio-oto-renal syndrome and highlight multidisciplinary management strategies. CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old Han Chinese female presented with bilateral preauricular and lateral neck fistulas since birth, accompanied by intermittent discharge. Physical examination revealed cup-shaped right ear deformity, bilateral preauricular fistulas, and branchial fistulas. Audiometry showed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Imaging studies identified an enlarged vestibular aqueduct and a hypoplastic left kidney. The patient underwent bilateral preauricular fistulotomy and bilateral branchial fistulotomy. Half a year after surgery, the patient's incision healed well with no discharge or signs of recurrence. Unfortunately, the patient did not undergo genetic testing.
conclusionThe diagnosis of branchio-oto-renal syndrome requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. Multidisciplinary collaboration is crucial for comprehensive management, including surgical intervention, audiological support, and long-term kidney monitoring.
