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
ImportanceSingle sided deafness (SSD) results in difficulties for comprehension in noise and spatial localization. Ponto is a percutaneous bone anchored implant (BAI) proposed to improve the auditory benefit in noise.ObjectiveThe main objective was to evaluate the auditory benefit in noise Ponto system brings to patients suffering from SSD. In addition, the complications within the 6 months after Ponto implantation whatever the initial indication were evaluated.DesignRetrospective and multicentric study.SettingThree different French tertiary referral centers.ParticipantsPatients who underwent surgery between 2012 and July 2021 with a Ponto BAI.InterventionAll patients with SSD underwent the speech in noise test, "Vocale Rapide dans le bruit" (VRB) in a condition with the sound signal from the front and the noise from 4 lateral loudspeakers. The test was performed in 2 conditions: aided and unaided. The Bern Benefit in Single-Sided Deafness (BBSS) Questionnaire and a subjective Spatial-Visual Analogic Scale (S-VAS) evaluated the patients' perception of benefits.Main Outcome MeasuresVRB Speech Reception Threshold score, BBSS and S-VAS scores, complications within 6 months after surgery mostly skin complications, chronic pain, and loss of the BAI.ResultsUsing the VRB, a gain of -1.55 dB signal-to-noise-ratio was found with the Ponto system. Moreover, the unaided VRB score was correlated with the unaided/aided difference and by that predicative of BAI treatment benefit. The BBSS showed mean scores between 1.45 and 3.47 for each question and the S-VAS mean score was 3.32. These results confirm a subjective benefit brought to patients especially as 74.3% were without cutaneous complications.ConclusionThe Ponto BAI is a reliable implant and together with a Ponto sound processor it provides good auditory in noise results.RelevanceThe VRB is a useful test for predicting the post-operative results that could be expected after surgery.
