Multivariate analysis of the exact effects of scalar position and insertion angle on speech discrimination.

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
Objective: Several studies examined the influence of cochlear morphology on scalar position of the electrode array and rate of dislocation. Furthermore, researchers described better speech discrimination for patients with electrode arrays positioned in scala tympani but in small study cohorts. The aim of this study is to examine the exact impact of scalar position, dislocation and angular insertion depth on postoperative speech perception. Design: We identified the patients ( Results: The multivariate nonparametric analysis of this study shows, that the dislocation of the electrode array and the insertion angle leads to no significant different postoperative speech discrimination results. Nevertheless, we could calculate a statistically significant amount of reduced speech recognition for monosyllables for primary scala tympani vs. scala vestibuli insertions (7.6%). Conclusion: This study, based on one of the largest study cohorts published to date, demonstrates reduced speech recognition for scala vestibuli insertions compared to scala tympani insertions. Insertion into the scala vestibuli results in a 7.6% decrease in speech discrimination for monosyllables.
