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

To evaluate and compare the effect of intra-scalar methylprednisolone and sodium hyaluronate on cochlear implants' impedance and electrically evoked compound action potentials thresholds. In a prospective randomized clinical trial, 103 children with pre-lingual hearing loss candidates for cochlear implantation at a tertiary hospital were divided into three groups based on intervention. Intraoperatively, one group received intra-scalar methylprednisolone, the second sodium hyaluronate, and the third group was the control group. Impedance and electrically evoked compound action potentials (e-ECAP) thresholds on long-term follow-up were evaluated and compared in these three groups. Significant decrease in impedance and e-ECAP thresholds were observed in all groups in a 4-year follow-up. No statistically significant difference was observed among all mentioned groups. Impedance and e-ECAP thresholds decrease in the long term, and using topical intra-scalar Healon or methylprednisolone may not significantly affect these parameters.
