Outcomes of Adolescents With a Short Electrode Cochlear Implant With Preserved Residual Hearing.
Trial report in Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine if adolescents with preserved residual low-frequency hearing can develop improved speech perception and maintain localization abilities by combining their acoustic hearing with electrical processing from a short electrode cochlear implant. STUDY
designRepeated-measure, single-subject experiment.
settingResearch hospital. PATIENTS: Adolescents with sensorineural hearing loss with a pure-tone average (PTA) between 60 and 90 dB HL between 125 and 1500 Hz and profound loss at higher frequencies. INTERVENTION(S): rehabilitative. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Five adolescents received a short electrode cochlear implant in their poorer ear. Audiometric, speech perception in quiet (CNC words), localization, speech production, and language outcomes were collected pre- and postoperatively at 4, 8, 12, and 24 months.
resultsFunctional hearing preservation was accomplished in all subjects at initial activation and was maintained through 24 months. In the Combined and Hybrid conditions, all subjects showed significant improvements by 4 months postimplantation, with exception of Subject 2 in the Combined condition, who showed a significant improvement by 8 months postimplantation. Results also indicated that all subjects continue to have localization abilities postimplantation.
conclusionsAll of the subjects have benefitted from the combined electric and acoustic processing for speech perception abilities. The results from this study suggest that it could be worthwhile to consider acoustic and electric hearing in the adolescent population that have some low-frequency residual hearing and are struggling with hearing aids.
