[Laser Doppler vibrometric measurements on human temporal bones].
Review in HNO, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Laser Doppler vibrometric (LDV) measurements on human temporal bones represent the standard method for predicting the performance of active middle ear implants (AMEI) and are used as preclinical tests in the development, approval process, and indication expansion of AMEI. The quality of the coupling of the floating mass transducer to the mobile structures of the middle ear is decisive for the performance of the implant and patients' hearing perception. The cochlea can be stimulated via the oval window (forward stimulation) or the round window (reverse stimulation). For forward stimulation, the ASTM standard F2504-05 defines a method to ensure physiologically normal properties of the temporal bones used in the experiments. For reverse stimulation, which depends even more critically on the quality of the temporal bone, a comparable standard method is lacking. Appropriate preparation and storage of the human petrous bone as well as suitable LDV test setups with respect to calibration and reproducibility of measuring positions and angles provide results that allow a comparison of different types of coupling and also correlate well with clinical data.
