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

The aim of this study was to investigate hidden hearing loss in patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 A (CMT1A), a common inherited demyelinating neuropathy. By using pure-tone audiometry, 43 patients with CMT1A and 60 healthy controls with normal sound detection abilities were enrolled. Speech perception in quiet and noisy backgrounds, spectral ripple discrimination (SRD), and temporal modulation detection (TMD) were measured. Although CMT1A patients and healthy controls had similar pure-tone thresholds and speech perception scores in a quiet background, CMT1A patients had significantly (p < 0.05) decreased speech perception ability in a noisy background compared to controls. CMT1A patients showed significantly decreased temporal and spectral resolution (both p < 0.05). Also, auditory temporal processing of CMT1A patients was correlated with speech perception in a noisy background (r = 0.447, p < 0.01) and median motor conduction velocity (r = 0.335, p < 0.05). Therefore, we assumed that demyelination of auditory nerve in CMT1A causes defective cochlear neurotransmission, which reduces temporal resolution and speech perception in a noisy background. Because the temporal resolution test was well correlated with the degree of demyelination in auditory and peripheral motor nerves, temporal resolution testing could be performed as an additional marker for CMT1A.
