Influence of Hearing Rehabilitation With Active Middle Ear and Bone Conduction Implants on Postural Control.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: As audition also seems to contribute to balance control, additionally to visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular information, we hypothesize that hearing rehabilitation with active middle ear and bone conduction implants can influence postural control. Methods: In a prospective explorative study, the impact of hearing rehabilitation with active middle ear [Vibrant Soundbrige (VSB), MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria] and bone conduction implants [Bonebridge (BB), MED-EL, Innsbruck, Austria] on postural control in adults was examined in three experiments. Vestibulospinal control was measured by cranio-corpography (CCG), trunk sway velocity (°/s) by the Standard Balance Deficit Test (SBDT), and postural stability with a force plate system, each time in best aided (BA) and unaided (UA) condition with frontal-noise presentation (Fastl noise, 65 dB SPL), followed by subjective evaluation, respectively. Results: In 26 subjects [age 55.0 ± 12.8 years; unilateral VSB/BB: Conclusions: Subjectively, approximately half of the participants reported a benefit in task performance in BA condition. Objectively, this could only be shown in one mobile SBDT-task. Subsystem analysis of trunk sway provided insights in multisensory reweighting mechanisms.
