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

The universal neonatal hearing screening (UNHS) program demands detection of hearing loss within the first 3 months of life. Practicability and different screening methods should be evaluated. Thus, 617 patients (329 m., 288 w.) were analyzed; 246 children were referred in the UNHS, 389 with risk factors. In 459 children (74%), automated auditory brainstem response (ABR) screening in our department excluded hearing loss, thereof 129 (21%) underwent diagnostic auditory brainstem-evoked audiometry responses: 20 (16%) showed normal and 109 (84%) elevated ABR thresholds. A total of 91 children (83%) received hearing aids and 11 children (10%) treatment of middle ear effusion. Hearing loss was diagnosed in 18% of all children, 24% with UNHS referral and 34% with both referral and risk factors. Craniofacial anomalies, premature birth < 32 weeks of pregnancy, and syndromes were the most frequent risk factors. Reevaluation by ABR showed an improvement to normal hearing in 3 (of 14) children. The 226 Hz compared to 1,000 Hz-tympanometry showed different specificity (95.5 vs. 85.5%) and sensitivity (32.5 vs. 57.1%). Diagnosis within 3 months is possible, but very challenging in children with risk factors.
