The Effects of Stimulation Level and Stimulation Rate on Neural Synchrony of the Cochlear Nerve in Postlingually Deafened Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients.
Article in Ear and hearing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThis study reports the effects of stimulation level and stimulation rate on the phase locking value (PLV)-an index quantifying neural synchrony of the cochlear nerve (CN)-in postlingually deafened adult cochlear implant users.
designPLVs were measured at three to four electrode locations at five stimulation levels or at six stimulation rates in 17 participants. Linear mixed-effects models were used to assess the effects of these two parameters on the PLV.
resultsSmaller PLVs were measured at the base compared with more apical electrodes across stimulation levels and stimulation rates. The PLV increased with stimulation level but was not affected by stimulation rate up to 120 Hz.
conclusionsIn human cochlear implant users, neural synchrony of the CN increases with stimulation level and is not affected by stimulation rate up to 120 Hz. In electrical hearing, these parametric effects are not altered by the pathological changes in the CN.
