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: The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical applicability of 3D segmentation in measuring cochlear anatomical parameters, explore factors that influence the insertion angle of cochlear implant electrodes in patients with inner ear malformations, and determine the value of 3D segmentation in predicting cochlear implant electrode insertion depth by simulating electrode implantation in a reconstructed 3D model. Methods: Data from 208 temporal bone CT scans of patients with a variety of inner ear malformations (including the CH, IP-I, IP-II, and IP-III types) who underwent cochlear implantation at our center were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative temporal bone CT data were subjected to three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of the cochlea with a 3D slicer. Results: Cochlear malformation types, including IP types I (42 ears), II (278 ears), III (20 ears), and CH (65 ears), were diagnosed and measured in 208 preoperative CT datasets. Cochlear anatomical parameters and electrode length were correlated, which partially explained the variations in electrode insertion angle. The mean angle of implantation among the enrolled patients was 564.33°, and the mean implantation angle prediction error in the 3D segmentation was |23.74|°. Conclusion: Three-dimensional segmentation from temporal bone CT is valuable for surgeons, especially in treating patients with inner ear malformation. Such insights will help surgeons understand overall anatomical variations, predict electrode implantation depth, and complete preoperative imaging assessments for cochlear implant insertion depth in patients with inner ear malformations.
