Case Report: Simultaneous repair of cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea and cochlear implantation in a patient with single-sided deafness and inner ear anomaly.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2026. 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
An-five years old male presented with recurrent attacks of headache and clear nasal discharge. Magnetic resonance cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) imaging demonstrated descent of the cerebellar tonsils, with CSF signal identified within the left middle ear. Temporal bone computed tomography showed the left cochlea was incomplete partition type I. Audiological evaluation revealed profound sensorineural hearing loss in the left ear of the pediatric patient. The surgical approach of mastoidotomy with exploration was utilized in the management of this pediatric case. CSF otorrhea was confirmed and the CSF leak was successfully localized at the oval window. The pediatric patient underwent repair of CSF otorrhea with concurrent cochlear implantation. Postoperatively, there was no recurrence of CSF otorrhea, and hearing was restored in the left ear. This report describes the first case of simultaneous repair of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) otorrhea and cochlear implantation for the management of both CSF otorrhea and acquired unilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss.
