Uncommon Post-Meningitis Hearing Threshold Improvement: A Case Report.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bacterial meningitis may cause inner ear fibrosis and progressive cochlear ossification with irreversible profound hearing loss (HL). Recognition of potential ossification is essential for effective management. We present a clinical case of a 4 year old boy who developed a progressive HL starting 3 weeks after meningitis. For the prospective risk of cochlear ossification, bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) was performed. Unexpectedly, unaided hearing threshold began to show improvement on the left ear, starting 4 months after meningitis and continuing for years post CI surgery. In order to explore the residual cochlear function, a trial of exclusively acoustic amplification was performed on the improved left side 5 years post implantation, providing good results. A certain degree of hearing recovery may be expected after meningitis related deafness. This case encourages surgeons to always adopt atraumatic surgical techniques that can enable the preservation of cochlear structure and residual function after CI surgery.
