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

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) provide salient information about cochlear function and dysfunction. Two broad classes of emissions, linear reflection and nonlinear distortion, arise via distinct cochlear processes and hence, appear to provide independent information about cochlear health and hearing. Considered in combination, these two OAE types may characterize sensory hearing loss most effectively. In this study, the level-dependent growth of stimulus-frequency OAEs (a reflection-type emission) and distortion-product OAEs (a distortion-type emission) were measured in ten normal-hearing ears and eight ears with slight-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Metrics of OAE strength and compression were derived from OAE input/output functions and then considered in a combined fashion. Results indicate that SFOAEs and DPOAEs differ significantly in their strength and compression features. When SFOAE and DPOAE metrics are displayed together on a two-dimensional plot, relatively well-defined data clusters describe their normative relationship. In hearing-impaired ears, this relationship is disrupted but not in a uniform way across ears; ears with similar audiograms showed differently altered joint-OAE profiles. Hearing loss sometimes affected only one OAE or one more than the other. Results suggest a joint-OAE profile is promising and warrants study in a large group of subjects with sensory hearing loss of varied etiologies.
