1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeWe examined neuronal activation patterns in single-sided deaf (SSD) cochlear implant (CI) recipients and normal-hearing (NH) controls to unravel neuronal mechanisms underlying binaural integration in SSD-CI.

methods20 SSD-CI (CI left) and 10 NH controls underwent [

resultsCompared to SSD-CI with good performance, those with poor performance showed poorer word understanding during unilateral stimulation of the NH ear. The activation of the right PAC was significant and comparable across groups. The asymmetry index of rCBF of the PAC decreased significantly in NH controls and SSD-CI with good performance from uni- to bilateral stimulation, but not in SSD-CI with poor performance. A significant activation of left STG was only observed in NH controls and SSD-CI with good performance.
