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: To clinically validate manual measurement of cochlear length from pre-operative image of cochlea with post-operative image of cochlear implant (CI) electrode. Methods: Temporal bone computer tomography (CT) scans of 23 ears were available for this pilot study. The inner ear was three-dimensionally (3D) segmented, and cochlea length was manually measured for preferred angular depth depending on inner ear anatomical types for CI electrode length selection. Post-operative CT scans were made available for electrode reconstruction to measure electrode length inside the cochlea to validate pre-operative measurement of cochlear length. Results: Normal anatomy (NA) inner ear was identified in 11 ears, enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome (EVAS) in 4 ears, incomplete partition (IP) type I in 2 ears, cochlear hypoplasia (CH) in 5 ears, and otosclerosis in 1 ear. Cochlear length was measured for 650° of angular depth in NA ears, 540° in EVAS and otosclerosis, 360° in IP type I, and for available angular depth depending on the development of the cochlea in CH type. Based on the cochlea length measured, a closely matching electrode length was chosen for implantation from 1 CI manufacturer. Partial insertion was seen in 2 NA ears, 1 otosclerosis ear, and 1 CH ear, whereas full insertion of the chosen electrode was achieved in the remaining 19 ears. Conclusion: Manual measurement of cochlea length from 3D image of cochlea is a practical way of choosing electrode length for preferred angular insertion depth depending on the cochlea anatomy. Level of Evidence: Between level 2 and 3.
