Polarity sensitivity to symmetric, biphasic monopolar pulses is not a reliable indicator of peripheral axonal degeneration in human cochlear implant users.

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
This study aimed to determine whether the effect of changing stimulus polarity on the electrically evoked compound action potential (eCAP) threshold - referred to as the polarity effect - could be used to assess the degeneration of the peripheral axon of the cochlear nerve (CN) in human cochlear implant (CI) users. The polarity effect, measured using symmetric, biphasic pulses delivered in a monopolar-coupled stimulation mode, was systematically compared among four cochlear-implanted patient populations with differing CN statuses: children with cochlear nerve deficiency, children with biallelic Gap Junction Beta-2 gene mutations, children with idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss, and postlingually deafened adults with various etiologies. All patients used a Cochlear
