From catheterization to crenotherapy: historical and functional perspective on the Eustachian tube.
Article in European journal of translational myology, 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
The Eustachian tube has played a surprisingly central role in the development of modern otology. Although often overshadowed by the clinical study of the inner ear and tympanic cavity, it was the Eustachian tube, and its treatment, that led to the establishment of Otology as an independent medical discipline in the early 19th century. This article aims to retrace this evolution, beginning with the historical, anatomical, and physiological background of catheterization techniques, continuing with the functional anatomy of the peritubal muscles, and concluding with a discussion of the most common middle ear pathologies. It also highlights the modern rediscovery of thermal therapy as a potential ally in the management of Eustachian tube dysfunction.
