Modern aspects of diagnosing purulent pathology of the ear (Review of cases of middle ear cholesteatoma using non-EPI DWI MRI).
Review in Journal of otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a prevalent condition in otolaryngology with significant medical and social implications, including hearing loss and severe intracranial complications. This article discusses the challenges in diagnosing cholesteatoma, a common complication of CSOM, particularly when using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We present three clinical cases where MRI, particularly in the non-EPI diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) modes, effectively identified the presence and extent of cholesteatoma that CT could not reliably distinguish due to overlapping features with other soft tissue formations. The high sensitivity of MRI, highlight its value in both primary diagnosis and assessment of recurrence. Our findings advocate for the incorporation of MRI into the diagnostic protocols for CSOM in the Republic of Kazakhstan, emphasizing the need for reliable epidemiological data to inform future research and prevent potential intracranial complications.
