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

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a common defect with a multifactorial etiology. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection (cCMV) is the most common infectious cause, and its early detection allows a prompt pharmacological treatment that can improve hearing prognosis. In a consistent percentage of profound SNHL, genetic causes and/or inner ear malformations are involved; their prompt diagnosis might change therapeutic options. This study reports a case of a 3- year-old female patient with symptomatic cCMV infection who also exhibits developmental delay, dysmorphic facial features, bilateral hearing loss, and cochlear incomplete partition, type 2, in 7q21.3 deletion. This deletion includes the genes
