[Hearing preservation in children with electric-acoustic stimulation after cochlear implantation : Outcome after electrode insertion with minimal insertion trauma (German version)].
Article in HNO, 2018. 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
backgroundCochlear implantation in patients with functional residual low-frequency hearing is performed according to an established hearing-preserving surgical technique in order to cause minimal trauma of inner ear structures. Due to the increasing number of cochlear implants in children, the preservation of residual hearing is becoming increasingly important in this patient collective.
objectivesShort- and mid-term hearing preservation outcome in pediatric patients is investigated. MATERIALS AND
methodsA group of 9 children (12 ears) between 5 and 12 years of age were examined after hearing-assisted cochlear implantation with respect to the pure tone audiometric thresholds. Retrospectively, short-term hearing preservation (up to 3 months after surgery) was examined. In a subgroup of 5 children, mid-term hearing preservation (7.5 to 16 months after surgery) was also analyzed. The mean values of hearing preserved (HL%) and hearing loss (HL) due to electrode insertion were calculated as measured values.
resultsIn the whole group, the mean values of the preoperative PTA
conclusionsThe results in children are consistent with the results in adults. Electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) should be used in the treatment of children with existing low-frequency residual hearing, as good residual hearing preservation can also be achieved in children after implantation.
