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

backgroundAccording to international standards, determination of acoustic reflex thresholds (ART) is one of the established objective measurements in the diagnostic workup of central auditory processing disorders (CAPD). However, there is still no evidence for the significance of ART in CAPD diagnosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study tested 57 children with proven CAPD and 50 healthy children (control group) with regard to group differences in mean ART (sine tones or bandpass-filtered noise). Additionally, it was investigated whether there were group differences between the mean dissociations of ART for sine tones or bandpass filtered noise.

resultsNeither ipsi- nor contralaterally were significant clinically relevant group differences (p < 0.050) between the mean ART of children with and without CAPD found. After Bonferroni correction, a significant group difference in the percentage of non-triggered reflexes was only observed with left-sided contralateral 2 kHz stimuli. Concerning the number of dissociations ≥20 dB, no significant group differences (p < 0.050) were detected either ipsi- or contralaterally (Fisher's test).

conclusionThe results of the study seem to indicate no clinically relevant ability of ART measurements to distinguish between children with and without CAPD. This renders the benefit of ART measurements for CAPD diagnosis questionable.
