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 aim of the present paper is to critically review the current evidence on the efficacy of cochlear implantation as a treatment modality for single-sided deafness (SSD), and/or unilateral tinnitus. Systematic literature review in Medline and other database sources was conducted along with critical analysis of pooled data. The study selection includes prospective and retrospective comparative studies, case series and case reports. The total number of analyzed studies was 17. A total of 108 patients with SSD have been implanted; 66 patients due to problems associated with SSD, and 42 primarily because of debilitating tinnitus. Cochlear implantation in SSD leads to improved sound localization performance and speech perception in noise from the ipsilateral side with an angle of coverage up to (but not including) 90(°) to the front, when noise is present in the contralateral quartile (Strength of recommendation B). Speech and spatial hearing also subjectively improve following the insertion of a cochlear implant (Strength of recommendation B); this was not the case regarding the quality of hearing. Tinnitus improvement was also reported following implant placement (Strength of recommendation B); however, patients need to be advised that the suppression is mainly successful when the implant is activated. The overall quality of the available evidence supports a wider use of cochlear implantation in SSD following appropriate selection and counseling (overall strength of recommendation B). It remains to be seen if the long-term follow-up of large number of patients in well conducted high quality studies will confirm the above mentioned results.
