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

purposeThe present study assessed the utility of live-aided Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEP) to optimize most comfortable level (M-levels) in children using cochlear implants.

methods14 children using CI from both genders (5 females, 9 males) in the age range of 4 to 8 years participated in the study. A live CAEP based program was carried out by adjusting programming parameters and simultaneously recording CAEP in a free-field condition. The cochlear implant's speech processor was connected to the programming unit. The program was switched to live mode to receive an acoustic stimulus, and simultaneously, aided CAEP was measured. The M level of the program was adjusted until the P1 peak is elicited for /b//d//g/ stimuli at 40 dBnHL. This live CAEP based program was given to the same participants for them to use for two weeks. Behavioral threshold and speech perception was measured in CEAP program and compared with participants' everyday program.

resultsThough sound field thresholds were better in live CAEP based programs, they were not statistically significant. And also, Speech perception scores were similar between every day and the live CAEP based program. Though M levels were higher in a live CAEP based program, they are not statistically significant from everyday programs.

conclusionLive CAEP could be used successfully to optimize programming parameters. This would certainly reduce the number of trial runs and duration of programming.
