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
aimUniversal neonatal hearing screening Project started in Albania for the first time in January 2009. It was made possible by the support of Magis, an Italian NGO, as a grant of Italian government to the Albanian health system. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of PCHI in Albania.
methodsUniversal neonatal hearing screening in Albania started on January 2009 until December 2012. Overall, 47341 newborns were tested. The screening covered the three main cities of Albania; Tirana, Shkodra and Fier.
resultsOverall, 93 babies resulted with bilateral hearing loss after the two steps screening. In total, 85 babies had hearing aids, 8 babies decided to get medical treatment abroad. The incidence at the end of the project is 2.1 babies with bilateral hearing impairment per 1000 births/year (2.1/1000 births).
conclusionOur findings are generally in line with previous reports on this matter. Future studies in Albania should be conducted to assess the prevalence and determinants of PCHI in Albania and in other transitional settings.
