1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo share our experience in cochlear implanted patients with incomplete partition type I, to compare it with the literature results and to disclose difficulties facing cochlear implant teams dealing with these patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsClinical records of 1089 cochlear implant procedures in a cochlear implant center were reviewed and data of patients who had incomplete partition type I were enrolled in this study. Their auditory and speech performances were evaluated 3 years after the implantation.

resultsEighteen cases (1.65%) had incomplete partition type I. Cerebrospinal fluid gusher was encountered during opening the cochlea in 15 patients (83.3%). There were no cases of persistent CSF leak or postoperative meningitis. In 61.1% of patients, some additional anomalies were found during the operation. Although in 55.6% of cases no electrically evoked compound action potential was detected even in long-term follow-up, all patients had satisfactory auditory and speech outcome.

conclusionCochlear implantation is a relatively safe and effective treatment for patients who have incomplete partition type I, even if the procedure may be somehow challenging.
