Sensorineural deafness following routine transurethral resection of the prostate.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A man in his 50s presented to a rural Australian emergency department with complete unilateral hearing loss following transurethral resection of the prostate. His hearing impairment progressed from 'muffled hearing' with tinnitus on emergence from anaesthesia, to total sensorineural deafness by day three. His surgery and anaesthesia were uncomplicated and he had remained normotensive throughout. He had no pre-existing auditory disease. He had received 240 mg of intravenous gentamicin intraoperatively for surgical prophylaxis. Renal function was normal. Brain imaging was negative for structural pathology, stroke and circulatory insufficiency. Ear nose and throat advised 7 days of oral corticosteroids, transtympanic dexamethasone and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A working diagnosis of gentamicin-induced ototoxicity was applied. Intervention has proven unsuccessful and there is no possibility for rehabilitation. The patient is permanently disabled.
