Application of the new SMS system of cochleovestibular anomalies: our experience with nine cases of type III anomaly.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021.

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
objectiveTo present and analyse the radiological findings, surgical findings, pre-implantation and post-implantation speech and hearing outcomes of nine children with SMS Type III cochleovestibular malformation. STUDY
designRetrospective case series of nine children with pre-lingual profound sensorineural hearing loss who underwent cochlear implantation (Jan 2012 to July 2019). These children had been classified as Type III malformation according to the SMS Classification of cochleovestibular anomalies. Facial nerve anomalies, CSF leaks and any other significant surgical finding were noted. Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) was used to report the child's pre-operative and two-year post-implantation auditory and speech abilities. Any significant improvement was assessed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. P value < 0.05 was considered significant.
resultsOut of nine patients, five patients sustained CSF gushers, while three patients had mild CSF leak, which were plugged adequately. No facial nerve anomalies were encountered. Post-op course was uneventful for all nine patients. MAIS scores at a two-year follow-up showed significant statistical improvement (P < 0.05) when compared to pre-operative scores.
conclusionCochlear implant is the treatment of choice for children with type III cochleovestibular malformation. There are significant auditory and speech improvements expected. However, the surgeon should bear in mind the risk of CSF leak and subsequent meningitis.
