Facial nerve stimulation in adult cochlear implant recipients with far advanced otosclerosis.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to predict occurrence of facial nerve stimulation (FNS) in cochlear implanted patients for far-advanced otosclerosis (FAO) by correlating preoperative computed tomography (CT)-scan data to FNS and to evaluate FNS impact on hearing outcomes. Methods: Retrospective analysis on 91 ears (76 patients) implanted for FAO. Electrodes were straight (50%) or perimodiolar (50%). Demographic data, extension of otosclerosis on preoperative CT scan, occurrence of FNS, and speech performance were analyzed. Results: Prevalence of FNS was 21% (19 ears). FNS appeared during the first month (21%), 1-6 months (26%), 6-12 months (21%), and over 1 year (32%) postimplantation. Cumulative incidence of FNS at 15 years was 33% (95% CI = [14-47%]). Extension of otosclerotic lesions on preimplantation CT-scan was more severe in FNS ears compared to No-FNS ( Conclusion: Cochlear implanted patients for FAO are at greater risk of developing FNS affecting speech performance over time, probably due to a higher percentage of deactivated electrodes. High resolution CT-scan is an essential tool allowing FNS prediction but not time of onset. Level of evidence: 2b, Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2022.
