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

ObjectiveTo compare hearing preservation outcomes between lateral wall and perimodiolar electrode arrays for cochlear implant patients.Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingA large Western Australian cochlear implant clinicMethodsA total of 311 adult cochlear implant recipients (321 ears) implanted between 2017 and 2022 were included. Of these, 174 presented with postlingual hearing loss and preoperative functional low-frequency hearing. The change in low-frequency pure-tone average was assessed as the difference between preoperative to 3-, 6-, and 12-months postoperative measurements. Data were analyzed through linear mixed-effects modeling and one-way ANOVA.ResultsPreoperative low-frequency, pure-tone average was higher for those implanted with perimodiolar compared with lateral wall electrodes (
