Transmeatal Section of the Array in Cochlear Implant Explantation and Reimplantation: How I Do It.
Article in The journal of international advanced otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
backgroundCochlear implant explantation and reimplantation (ERI) are rarely required, but the widespread use of implants has made it a procedure that every otologic surgical center must address. Although generally described as safe, ERI presents specific surgical challenges, particularly concerning the replacement of the array.
methodsThe transmeatal section of the array as the initial step of cochlear implant ERI is proposed and described.
resultsA brief case series did not report any specific complications.
conclusionThe transmeatal section of the array allows for the early and safe removal of the cable portion within the mastoid, enabling the surgeon to address scar tissue and new bone formation without the hindrance of the cable and preventing the premature removal of the array in the cochlea.
