ARTFit-A Quick and Reliable Tool for Performing Initial Fittings in Users of MED-EL Cochlear Implants.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
This study assessed the safety and performance of ARTFit, a new tool embedded in MAESTRO, the cochlear implant (CI) system software by MED-EL GmbH (Innsbruck, Austria). ARTFit automatically measures thresholds of the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) to produce initial 'maps' (ECAPMAPs), i.e., configuration settings of the audio processor that the audiologist switches to live mode and adjusts for comfortable loudness (LiveECAPMAPs). Twenty-three adult and ten pediatric users of MED-EL CIs participated. The LiveECAPMAPs were compared to behavioral maps (LiveBurstMAPs) and to the participants' everyday clinical maps (ClinMAPs). Four evaluation measures were considered: average deviations of the maximum comfortable loudness (MCL) levels of the LiveECAPMAPs and the LiveBurstMAPs from the MCLs of the ClinMAPs; correlations between the MCLs of the LiveECAPMAPs (MCL
