Cochlear Implantation in Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy, Lactic Acidosis, and Stroke-Like Episodes Syndrome: Case Presentation.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome is a multisystem, progressive neurodegenerative condition, and the most common mitochondrial cytopathy. While not a primary characteristic, sensorineural hearing loss is a common additional symptom reported in up to 78% of cases. This article presents 2 cases of cochlear implantation in patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome. Both cases demonstrated significantly improved speech recognition, with results significantly better than previous case reports. Cochlear implants are an appropriate treatment for severe-profound hearing loss in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome. While anesthetic risks and cognitive skills need to be taken into consideration, routine programming and rehabilitation pathways may be appropriate for this cohort.
