Use of Meludia to evaluate the effect of music training in cochlear implant users: study protocol of a randomised controlled study.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06540677 (Use of Meludia to Evaluate the Benefits of Music Training in Cochlear Implant Users), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
introductionAlthough most cochlear implant (CI) users achieve good speech understanding in quiet without visual cues, they may have limited speech understanding in noise and often have poor music perception. The present study was designed to investigate the degree to which the use of Meludia training can improve music perception, music enjoyment and speech understanding in paediatric and postlingually deafened adult CI users. The study also aims to assess the participants' changes in cognitive skills (attention and memory) and quality of life. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This randomised controlled trial will randomise new CI users and experienced CI users older than 6 years who meet the inclusion criteria in a 1:1 ratio to either a musical training (MT) group or a non-MT (NMT) group. The NMT group will receive standard care that does not include MT. Participants in the MT group will practise with Meludia software for 4 weeks and later for 12 additional weeks. Outcomes will include scores in: 'Listening Up' exercises, the -Music-Related Quality of Life questionnaire, the Music Questionnaire for Paediatric Population, Disyllables in silence, Matrix test, Mini Mental State Examination, Performance IQ and the Wechsler intelligence scale for children and the Assessment of Quality of Life-8 Dimensions questionnaire. The NMT group will receive standard care that does not include MT. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: On 16 October 2023, the study protocol was approved by the La Paz Hospital in Madrid (Spain). The findings of this study will be published in peer-reviewed publications and presented at appropriate conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT06540677.
