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

According to current knowledge, it must be assumed that temporary idiopathic hearing loss and its spontaneous remission are based on mechanical and/or pathological alterations in the inner ear. The causal mechanisms might be based on inter-individual variations. Induced by dose-dependent activators, temporary as well as permanent damage might occur. Sudden hearing loss may be initiated by an increase in the local nitric oxide (NO) concentration. Spontaneous remission, i.e. functional restoration, can be explained by a local decrease in the NO concentration. In this context, regulatory systems such as the gap-junction system, blood vessels or synapses might be affected. In addition, alterations in the hormone level of estrogen and mineralocorticoids, as well as cellular glutathione and vitamin levels, might lead to temporary alterations in the inner ear. Recent experimental findings indicate a role for the shuttle protein Survivin in the spontaneous remission of sudden hearing loss.
