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

Objectives: To investigate neural responsiveness to electrical stimulation in children with common cavity deformity (CCD) after cochlear implantation (CI), compare these responses to those in children with normal cochlea, and analyze the influence of cavity volume and electrode position on these responses. Methods: This is a case-control study. Participant included nine children with CCD and 11 children with normal cochlea. For each participant, electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) were measured, and input/output (I/O) functions were analyzed. The volume of the CCD, electrode to the fundus of the internal auditory canal (E-IAC) distance, and inner wall (E-IW) distance were measured on preoperative and postoperative imaging for children with CCD. Linear mixed-effects models (LMM) explored group differences and the influences of volume, E-IAC distance, and E-IW distance on ECAP responses for children with CCD. Results: Children with CCD exhibited significantly higher ECAP thresholds and lower amplitudes than those with normal cochlea. The E-IAC distance has a significant influence on the ECAP threshold and maximum amplitude ( Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that there were a certain number of residual CNs in children with CCD; however, these nerves exhibited poorer responsiveness to electrical stimulation compared to children with a normal cochlea. Electrodes placed closer to the IAC fundus elicited stronger ECAP responses for children with CCD, which emphasized the importance of surgical strategies that minimize the distance between electrode contacts and residual cochlear nerve structures.
