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

A multitude of new implantable hearing systems and applications creates new options for pathologies which have been difficult to treat in the past. For many of these hearing systems preclinical technical methods to characterize devices and applications are limited. Therefore, clearly structured clinical investigations and trials are necessary to render results of devices and applications comparable for meta-analysis. Beside optimizing results in current applications, this is also essential for comparisons with established treatment options and differential indication criteria. Even during planning and design of studies, the timing of reference measurements and the choice of-on-off vs. pre-post comparisons in audiological testing decides the focus of the study. This applies equally to the choice for a monaural vs. a binaural test design, which decides whether the study will have the device or the overall result of the treatment in focus. Additional measures such as effective gain, coupling efficiency, and maximal possible intelligibility (WRS
