3D imaging of the human temporal bone by X-ray phase-contrast tomography.
Article in Npj imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Studying the subtle and intricate three-dimensional structure of the human cochlea embedded in the temporal bone requires structure-preserving imaging approaches with adaptable field of view and resolution. Synchrotron X-ray phase-contrast tomography at the novel beamline BM18 (EBS, ESRF) offers the unique capability to achieve histological resolution at the scale of the entire organ, based on high lateral coherence, long propagation distances, and optimized spectral range. At the same time advances in laboratory μ-CT instrumentation and protocols also open up new opportunities for 3D micro-anatomy and histopathology, including 3D reconstruction of nerve tissue when suitable staining protocols are used. Here we report on post mortem 3D imaging of human temporal bones and excised human cochleae, both unstained and stained to visualize the auditory nerve. Further, we highlight the use of this imaging modality for development of novel cochlear implant technology.
