Ophthalmic Abnormalities among Children Treated with Cochlear Implants.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo review the ocular abnormalities in children treated with cochlear implant. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 51 children (29 boys, 22 girls) who were under 18 years old, presented previously with severe to profound hearing loss, and underwent cochlear implantation surgery were included in this study prospectively. A detailed ophthalmic examination, including refraction, best corrected visual acuity, ocular motility, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and dilated fundus examination, was performed for each patient.
resultsMean age of the patients was 80.10±38.64 (range, 18-168) months. A total of 13 (25.4%) children had at least 1 ophthalmic abnormality. The majority of the detected ophthalmic abnormalities were hyperopia and astigmatism (6 patients had hyperopia, 5 had astigmatism, and 2 had hyperopia plus astigmatism). Strabismus (esotropia) was found in 2 patients, 2 patients had refractive amblyopia, and 2 patients had nystagmus. Moreover, 3 patients had microcornea, 2 patients had cataract, and 1 patient had epiblepharon. Optic disc coloboma (3 patients), choroidal coloboma (1 patient), and pigmentary abnormality (1 patient) were noticed on fundus examination. Congenital rubella syndrome (2 patients), Waardenburg's syndrome (1 patient), and CHARGE syndrome (coloboma, heart defects, choanal atresia, growth retardation, genital abnormalities, ear abnormalities) (1 patient) were also present.
conclusionChildren treated with cochlear implant should be consulted with an ophthalmologist to identify any treatable ocular abnormality.
