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
ImportanceAnatomy-based fitting (ABF) in cochlear implant (CI) users is an emerging method that individualizes the frequency allocation of the sound-coding strategies based on cochlear anatomy, aiming to reduce frequency-to-place mismatch and improve auditory outcomes.ObjectiveTo review current evidence on the rationale, processes, applications, and clinical significance of ABF, with a focus on its potential to improve speech perception, music appreciation, and overall sound quality.DesignNarrative review of published literature on ABF in CI users, including English-language clinical studies identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using the terms "Anatomy-Based Fitting" and "Cochlear Implantation," without restrictions on age or gender, while excluding non-English publications, animal studies, conference abstracts, letters, and commentaries.Intervention or ExposuresConceptual and technical approaches to individualizing CI frequency allocation using anatomical information obtained through medical imaging (eg, high-resolution computed tomography) to determine electrode array position relative to the modiolus and lateral wall, guiding optimal frequency allocation.Main Outcome MeasuresDifferent types of outcome measures were reported, including speech recognition, music and sound quality, psychoacoustic, electrophysiological, and patient-reported measures.ResultsPublished studies suggest that aligning frequency mapping with individual cochlear anatomy can improve speech intelligibility, especially in challenging hearing settings, and enhance overall user satisfaction.ConclusionsABF is a promising method for CI fitting that accounts for anatomical variability to optimize frequency allocation, potentially improving auditory performance.RelevanceIncorporating ABF into CI clinical practice may enhance individualization and improve hearing outcomes, representing a promising future direction in auditory rehabilitation.
