Prevalence of various etiologies of hearing loss among cochlear implant recipients: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of audiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the etiology of deafness in cochlear implanted children and to address the question whether there is a need for more thorough diagnostics, especially concerning genetics.
designSystematic review. Four databases were searched for studies (year 2000-2014) on cochlear implanted children (n > 100). Studies were excluded if etiology had influenced their inclusion criteria. Eligibility and methodological quality were assessed independently by three authors. The studies' description of diagnostic evaluation was categorized in three groups. STUDY SAMPLE: Sixteen studies were included (5069 children).
resultsThe most common etiological categories were 'Unknown' 40.3% (95% CI 32.8 to 48.0), 'Non-syndromic' 22.4% (95% CI 17.1 to 28.2), and 'Postnatal' 11.3% (95% CI 7.2 to 16.2). Studies published after 2006 had a lower proportion of 'Unknown' etiology 35.3% (95% CI 28.0 to 42.8) than older 45.5% (95% CI 31.0 to 60.4). Important information was missing from several studies: 11 (69%) studies did not provide detailed description on diagnostic evaluation of the etiology of deafness and had a higher proportion of 'Unknown' etiology.
conclusionsIn order to ensure a higher level of comparability in future studies, we recommend agreement upon an international standard of diagnostics and the introduction of an international standard for reporting etiology.
