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

To evaluate the association between sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) among a national sample cohort from Korea. Data were collected from 2002 through 2013 for individuals aged ≥ 20 years in the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS)-National Sample Cohort. We extracted the data from RA patients (n = 7619) and 1:4-matched controls (n = 30,476) and analyzed the occurrence of SSNHL. Matching was performed based on age, sex, income, region of residence, and medical history. RA was diagnosed based on International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes (M05 or M06) and prescriptions for the antirheumatic drugs. SSNHL was diagnosed based on the relevant ICD-10 code (H912). Among the SSNHL participants, we included only those who had undergone an audiometry exam (claim codes: E6931-E6937, F6341-F6348) and received treatment with steroids. The crude and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated using Cox-proportional hazard models, and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined. Subgroup analyses based on age and sex were also performed. The rate of SSNHL in the RA group (0.8% [62/7619]) was higher than that in the control group (0.6% [177/30,476], P = 0.021). The crude and adjusted HRs for SSNHL were 1.40 (95% CI = 1.05-1.87) and 1.39 (95% CI = 1.04-1.86), respectively, in the RA group (each P < 0.05). The relationship between RA and SSNHL was observed primarily in patients aged ≥ 50 years and men. The risk of SSNHL is higher in patients with RA.
