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

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is a well-recognized clinical symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS). Acute inflammatory demyelination in the cochlear nerve or more central auditory tracts may cause sudden retrocochlear hearing loss. A 28-year-old male patient who was confirmed as having MS presented with suffering from dizziness as well as ongoing right-side hearing loss. We performed audiological tests, such as pure tone audiometry (PTA), otoacoustic emission, auditory brainstem response (ABR), and auditory steady-state response (ASSR). His clinical and audiological abnormalities disappeared with steroid therapy. However, each test showed different time courses of improvement. Although the results of the PTA and ASSR tests improved in exactly 1 month after the first attack, the results of the ABR reached 3 months to return to normal. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of the time difference of hearing improvement shown in PTA, ASSR, and ABR tests.
