Recent Advances in Cochlear Implant Electrode Array Design Parameters.
Review in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Cochlear implants are neural implant devices that aim to restore hearing in patients with severe sensorineural hearing impairment. Here, the main goal is to successfully place the electrode array in the cochlea to stimulate the auditory nerves through bypassing damaged hair cells. Several electrode and electrode array parameters affect the success of this technique, but, undoubtedly, the most important one is related to electrodes, which are used for nerve stimulation. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive resource on the electrodes currently being used in cochlear implant devices. Electrode materials, shape, and the effect of spacing between electrodes on the stimulation, stiffness, and flexibility of electrode-carrying arrays are discussed. The use of sensors and the electrical, mechanical, and electrochemical properties of electrode arrays are examined. A large library of preferred electrodes is reviewed, and recent progress in electrode design parameters is analyzed. Finally, the limitations and challenges of the current technology are discussed along with a proposal of future directions in the field.
