MRI after Bonebridge implantation: a comparison of two implant generations.
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. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purposeAnalysis of head magnetic resonance images (MRI) of patients with active bone conduction implants (BCIs) is challenging. Currently, there are two generations of the transcutaneous Bonebridge system (BCI601 and BCI602), the main difference between them being the transducer design and thickness. The aim was to compare the effect of transducer placement and artifact reduction sequences on legibility of MRI scans.
methodsFour Thiel-fixed human head specimens were used: BCI601 was implanted in sinodural and middle fossa placement, and BCI602 in middle fossa and retrosigmoid approach. Images were obtained with a Signa
resultsQualitatively, limits of the artifact produced by the implant were better defined with MAVRIC than with standard T2 sequences. Assessment of contralateral internal auditory canal (IAC) was possible in all cases. Placement of the BCI602 in the middle fossa allowed the view of the ipsilateral IAC using MAVRIC sequence. Quantitatively, the artifact was reduced with MAVRIC sequence from 6.3 to 59.7%, depending on the position of implant and model; the middle fossa placement and the BCI602 being those generating shorter artifact radio.
conclusionArtifact optimized sequences as MAVRIC reduce the artifact caused by the Bonebridge system. The middle fossa approach allows a better visualization of IAC canal in the ipsilateral ear with both implant versions, but the effect is more prominent with the BCI602.
