Cochlear implantation in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: two cases with a review of the literature.

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
purposeTo report two cases of bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) patients with novel mutations. Furthermore, we conducted a detailed literature review on the profile and outcomes of CI in this uncommon clinical circumstance. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1 involved a 25-year-old woman who was referred for sudden hearing loss (HL) in her left ear and had a 7-year history of HL in her right ear. She was diagnosed with CMT type 1 with a thymidine phosphorylase gene mutation. CI was performed on her left side because her hearing gradually worsened to deafness in both ears. At 3 months post-operation, her speech discrimination score without lip-reading improved from 0 to 100%. She underwent a second CI on her right ear 6 months after her first CI. Two years from her first operation, the speech discrimination score was 100%. Case 2 received her first CI on her right ear at the age of nine for her bilateral HL. She was diagnosed with CMT type 2 with a Twinkle mitochondrial DNA helicase gene mutation. Preoperatively, the speech discrimination score in both ear-aided conditions was 70%. At the 7-year post-operation follow-up, the speech discrimination score was 76%. A second CI was performed due to decreasing hearing ability in her left ear. The speech discrimination score showed 100% at 7 months after the second CI.
conclusionsCI is an effective hearing rehabilitation option for CMT patients with severe-to-profound SNHL. Neuro-otologists should consider CI as a treatment option, even though hearing loss in CMT is associated with auditory neuropathy spectrum disease (ANSD).
