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

Here, we describe the surgical technique for implanting a new, active, transcutaneous bone conduction hearing aid. The implant technology is based on a system that has been in use reliably since 2012. The geometry of the new implant has been adapted based on experience with previously introduced implants. The surgery was feasible, standardized, and safe. Due to the optimized geometric design that improved the bone fit, it is not necessary to use specialized, detailed preoperative planning, except in challenging anatomical conditions; e.g., in young children, malformations, poor pneumatization, or after a canal wall down mastoidectomy.
