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

In cochlear implant (CI) recipients, measurement of the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) is used in clinical routine to prove the electrode-nerve interface and to support fitting, especially in very young children. To record an ECAP amplitude growth function (AGF), electrical stimuli are presented at increasing intensities up to the maximum acceptable loudness (MAL). However, a continuously monotonically rising sound can quickly be perceived as unpleasant and thus impair the success rate of ECAP threshold determination. The present study investigates whether perceptual and objective parameters, which are involved in ECAP measurements, depend on the type of stimulus presentation. In 27 subjects with a CI (28 implants), stimuli of five different AGF patterns were presented ten times in random order at a medial electrode contact, resulting in a total of 50 AGFs per implant. One pattern (P
