Cochlear Implantation.
Review in Deutsches Arzteblatt international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 49 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
backgroundHearing impairment that is too severe to be adequately treated with conventional hearing aids can lead, in children, to severe developmental disturbances of hearing and language, and, in adults, to communicative and social deprivation. Recent advances in medical device technology and in microsurgical techniques have led to an expansion of the indications for cochlear implantation (CI) for adults with progressive hearing loss in older age, and to a restructuring of the process of care for these patients in Germany.
methodsThis review is based on pertinent publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed, as well as on the CI guidelines and CI "white book" of the German Society of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery.
resultsEarly and accurate diagnosis is crucial for the successful auditory rehabilitation of high-grade hearing impairment. In children, a key role is played by newborn auditory screening, which is mandatory in Germany and enables the provision of a CI in the first year of life when necessary. 86% of the children receiving a CI achieve linguistic comprehension of fluently spoken sentences. For adults, positive prognostic factors for hearing after the provision of a CI include a highly motivated patient, "postlingual" onset of the hearing impairment (i.e., after the acquisition of language), and a brief duration of deafness. Auditory rehabilitation is associated with significant improvement, not just of hearing and of the comprehension of spoken language, but also of quality of life, particularly in elderly patients. For patients of any age with bilateral hearing loss, CIs should be provided on both sides, if possible. The more common complications of the procedure, with a probability of 2-4% each, are technical implant defects, dizziness, and wound-healing disturbances.
conclusionCochlear implantation, performed in specialized centers, is a safe and reliable technique and regularly enables the successful rehabilitation of hearing in both children and adults.
