Visualization, measurement and modelling of the cochlea using rotating midmodiolar slice planes.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
purposeCross-sectional visualization of anatomical structures in DICOM viewers is usually presented in parallel slices. For visualizing the inner ear, this concept is unfavourable due to the spiral shape of the cochlea. Radial slicing through its central axis (known as midmodiolar view) is advantageous. Therefore, a custom DICOM viewer was developed, which allows the visualization of the cochlea in a midmodiolar slice plane that rotates around the central axis of the cochlea, always cutting the latter radially.
methodsThe program was written in C++ using the open-source libraries ITK, VTK, GDCM and Qt. The rotation axis is defined by placing two points in the modiolus within a conventional slice visualization of the dataset. A midmodiolar visualization is calculated based on this axis. Scrolling the mouse wheel rotates slice plane around the axis, displaying midmodiolar slices at variable angles. Measurement options are provided as well as interactive placement of marker points whose coordinates can be exported for post-processing in other programs.
resultsThe program can be used in multiple applications including the determination of cochlear dimensions, especially its length, and post-operative positions of cochlear implant (CI) electrode carriers. Computer-aided design models of the cochlea can be generated from exported marker points.
conclusionThe proposed DICOM viewer directly focuses on the needs of cochlear visualization, thus making it a valuable tool in CI related research. The ease of use facilitates future clinical use, e.g. for pre-operative selection of optimal CI electrode carrier length based on the patient's cochlear length.
