1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

An SCD is a pathologic hole (or dehiscence) in the bone separating the superior semicircular canal from the cranial cavity that has been associated with a conductive hearing loss in patients with SCD syndrome. The conductive loss is defined by an audiometrically determined air-bone gap that results from the combination of a decrease in sensitivity to air-conducted sound and an increase in sensitivity to bone-conducted sound. Our goal is to demonstrate, through physiological measurements in an animal model, that mechanically altering the superior semicircular canal (SC) by introducing a hole (dehiscence) is sufficient to cause such an air-bone gap. We surgically introduced holes into the SC of chinchilla ears and evaluated auditory sensitivity (cochlear potential) in response to both air- and bone-conducted stimuli. The introduction of the SC hole led to a low-frequency (<2000 Hz) decrease in sensitivity to air-conducted stimuli and a low-frequency (<1000 Hz) increase in sensitivity to bone-conducted stimuli resulting in an air-bone gap. This result was consistent and reversible. The air-bone gaps in the animal results are qualitatively consistent with findings in patients with SCD syndrome.
