Cochlear Implantation Following Neonatal Meningitis: A Rare Case Report.
Article in Case reports in otolaryngology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Bacterial meningitis in neonates may lead to profound sensorineural hearing loss and rapid postinflammatory cochlear changes that complicate auditory rehabilitation. We present two infants with bilateral profound hearing loss following neonatal bacterial meningitis who underwent early bilateral cochlear implantation. Radiological findings were limited or subtle, but intraoperative findings confirmed cochlear obstruction/ossification requiring adapted surgical management. Full electrode insertion was achieved in both children. Postoperative outcomes showed auditory benefit in both cases, although further development was strongly influenced by associated neurological comorbidities. These cases highlight the importance of early hearing assessment, repeated audiological follow-up, prompt imaging, and timely cochlear implantation in postmeningitic hearing loss.
