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
backgroundWe question whether patients with acute tinnitus can be differentiated in their perceived handicap and emotional distress. Dysfunctional mechanisms for coping with stress and illness in patients with acute tinnitus were investigated.
methodsTwenty patients (symptoms for less than 1 week) were examined for distress due to tinnitus (TF), degree of depression (BDI), global distress (SCL- 90-R) and coping with stress (SVF).
resultsPatients could be differentiated in terms of their psychological distress and annoyance caused by the symptoms. There is a high correlation between the degree of depression, dysfunctional way of coping with stress and emotional distress caused by tinnitus. Dysfunctional stress coping strategies are found more frequently in highly affected patients.
conclusionPatients with acute tinnitus can be differentiated in terms of their distress and the psychological impairment caused by their symptoms. These results suggest that the immediate reaction to the manifestation of tinnitus might be of prognostic value for the level of emotional distress experienced in chronic tinnitus. The question arises of whether psychological intervention in the acute stage of tinnitus might be beneficial.
