Management of Complications in 1452 Pediatric and Adult Cochlear Implantations.
Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 aim of this study was to determine the short- and long-term complications after cochlear implantation (CI) procedures and to discuss the management and prevention of these complications.
methodsThe study included a total of 1452 pediatric and adult cochlear implantation procedures performed in our clinic from March 2000 through September 2019. Of the 1452 implantations, 1201 were performed in children and 156 in adults. The minimum follow-up period was three months and maximum was 19 years. The mean age of the patients was 6.7±3.9 years (range, 10 months-69 years) at the time of their respective procedures. Complications were classified as major complications requiring reimplantation, major complications not requiring reimplantation and minor complications. All postoperative complications and treatment methods were examined.
resultsA total of 148 (10.1%) complications were observed in the 1452 cochlear implants. Of these, 69 (4.75%) were major and 79 (5.44%) were minor complications. While 40 (2.75%) of the major complications required reimplantation, 29 (1.99%) did not. The most common cause of major complications leading to reimplantation was device failure (29 patients, 1.99%). The most common cause of minor complications was hematoma (21 patients). Total complication rates (6.68%) were significantly higher in children than in adults (3.51%) (p=0.00).
conclusionOur 19 years of clinical experience has shown that CI is a successful and safe procedure that can be performed with low major complication rates. It is important to know the possible complications and to manage them correctly.
