Image-guided cochlear access by non-invasive registration: a cadaveric feasibility study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Image-guided cochlear implant surgery is expected to reduce volume of mastoidectomy, accelerate recovery, and improve safety. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and effectiveness of image-guided cochlear implant surgery by a non-invasive registration method, in a cadaveric study. We developed a visual positioning frame that can utilize the maxillary dentition as a registration tool and completed the tunnels experiment on 5 cadaver specimens (8 cases in total). The accuracy of the entry point and the target point were 0.471 ± 0.276 mm and 0.671 ± 0.268 mm, respectively. The shortest distance from the margin of the tunnel to the facial nerve and the ossicular chain were 0.790 ± 0.709 mm and 1.960 ± 0.630 mm, respectively. All facial nerves, tympanic membranes, and ossicular chains were completely preserved. Using this approach, high accuracy was achieved in this preliminary study, suggesting that the non-invasive registration method can meet the accuracy requirements for cochlear implant surgery. Based on the above accuracy, we speculate that our method can also be applied to neurosurgery, orbitofacial surgery, lateral skull base surgery, and anterior skull base surgery with satisfactory accuracy.
