Factors Associated with Preoperative Patient Expectations in the Cochlear Implant Evaluation Process.
Article in Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo determine what factors are associated with patients' preoperative expectations of their postimplantation experience with their cochlear implant devices. STUDY
designA retrospective review of data from a prospectively maintained cochlear implant database was conducted.
settingTertiary, academic hospital. PATIENTS: Adult patients who underwent a cochlear implant candidacy evaluation and completed the CIQOL-Expectations validated instrument were included.
resultsAge was found to have a weak association with increased expectations in some domains of the CIQOL-Expectations. There were some very weak associations identified between a patient's baseline functional ability and their expectations in the corresponding domain. However, no modifiable variable included in the current analysis was found to have an association with patient expectations.
conclusionUnderstanding patient expectations is a critical part of the success of medical interventions such as cochlear implantation. However, they are complex and likely multifactorial, and future studies are needed to look at other potential variables that may contribute to their formation.
