1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The use of electrocochleography (ECochG) for providing real-time feedback of cochlear function during cochlear implantation is receiving increased attention for preventing cochlear trauma and preserving residual hearing. Although various studies investigated the relationship between intra-operative ECochG measurements and surgical outcomes in recent years, the limited interpretability of ECochG response changes leads to conflicting study results and prevents the adoption of this method for clinical use. Specifically, the movement of the recording electrode with respect to the different signal generators in intracochlear recordings makes the interpretation of signal changes with respect to cochlear trauma difficult. Here, we demonstrate that comparison of ECochG signals recorded simultaneously from intracochlear locations and from a fixed extracochlear location can potentially allow a differentiation between traumatic and atraumatic signal changes in intracochlear recordings. We measured ECochG responses to 500 Hz tone bursts with alternating starting phases during cochlear implant insertions in six human cochlear implant recipients. Our results show that an amplitude decrease with associated near 180° phase shift and harmonic distortions in the intracochlear difference curve during the first half of insertion was not accompanied by a decrease in the extracochlear difference curve's amplitude (
