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
Introduction: Meniere's disease (MD) is characterised by fluctuating hearing loss. When hearing loss is severe or profound, rehabilitation requires cochlear implantation. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare cochlear implant (CI) fittings and electrode impedances between patients implanted because of MD and those with other aetiologies. Materials and methods: This study involved patients who received cochlear implantation with MED-EL CI at our centre between 2005 and 2022. We first compared speech recognition in a quiet environment at one year after cochlear implantation. We then performed a comparative study of the electrode impedances and most comfortable levels at activation, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months after activation. Results: Out of the 218 patients included in our study, 21 were diagnosed with MD. There was no significant difference in speech intelligibility in a quiet environment between the 2 groups. Electrode impedances were statistically comparable in both groups. However, MCLs for the 2 most apical electrodes were higher in the MD group during the first 2 months after surgery. Conclusions: This study found a need for electrical stimulation at higher intensities in low-frequency electrodes during the early months after cochlear implantation in MD.
