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

This study evaluates intracochlear electrocochleography (ECochG) for real-time monitoring during cochlear implantation. One aim tested whether adjusting the recording electrode site would help differentiate between atraumatic and traumatic ECochG amplitude decrements. A second aim assessed whether associations between ECochG amplitude decrements and post-operative hearing loss were weaker when considering hearing sensitivity at the ECochG stimulus frequency compared to a broader frequency range. Eleven adult cochlear implant recipients who were candidates for electro-acoustic stimulation participated. Single-frequency (500-Hz) ECochG was performed during cochlear implantation; the amplitude of the first harmonic of the difference waveform was considered. Post-operative hearing preservation at 500 Hz ranged from 0 to 94%. The expected relationship between ECochG amplitude decrements and hearing preservation was observed, though the trend was not statistically significant, and predictions were grossly inaccurate for two participants. Associations did not improve when considering alternative recording sites or hearing sensitivity two octaves above the ECochG stimulus frequency. Intracochlear location of a moving recording electrode is a known confound to real-time interpretation of ECochG amplitude fluctuations, which was illustrated by the strength of the correlation with ECochG amplitude decrements. Multiple factors contribute to ECochG amplitude patterns and to hearing preservation; these results highlight the confounding influence of intracochlear recording electrode location on the ECochG.
