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

backgroundDue to the anatomical variety of the human cochlea and the many factors that may determine the choice of the cochlear array, there is no one-size-fits-all method for determining the right implant. The cochlear size, preoperative residual hearing, anatomical variants, operative technique, and cause of deafness must be taken into consideration when making this decision.

objectiveThis work aims to spread awareness of precision surgery and provide an overview. MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES: Factors that contribute to individualization are explained, and future advances are outlined.

resultsThe optimum treatment, if possible, is electroacoustic stimulation. Cochlear coverage of approximately 80% should be the goal when using electrical stimulation alone.

conclusionIn order to maximize rehabilitation results, recent developments in cochlear implantation mark a paradigm shift away from standardized treatments and toward individualized therapy.
