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 mathematical equations to estimate cochlear duct length (CDL) using cochlear parameters such as basal turn diameter (A-value) and width (B-value) are currently applied for cochleae with two and a half turns of normal development. Most of the inner ear malformation (IEM) types have either  less than two and a half cochlear turns or have a cystic apex, making the current available CDL equations unsuitable for cochleae with abnormal anatomies. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the basal turn length (BTL) from the cochlear parameters of different anatomical types, including normal anatomy; enlarged vestibular aqueduct; incomplete partition types I, II, and III; and cochlear hypoplasia. The lateral wall was manually tracked for 360° of the angular depth, along with the A and B values in the oblique coronal view for all anatomical types. A strong positive linear correlation was observed between BTL and the A- (r
