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

Despite developments in electrophysiological testing, imaging remains the standard method to determine cochlear implant positioning. Whilst cone beam computed tomography is optimal, modified Stenver radiographs are easier to perform and are therefore commonly used. With recent debate as to the need for routine imaging in uncomplicated cases, the radiologist is increasingly faced with cases of abnormal anatomy or surgical error. The primary interest is the positioning of the electrode array within the cochlea. This includes evidence of tip roll over or kinking and depth of electrode insertion, as both are independent predictors of hearing outcomes and may necessitate revision surgery.
