Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Children: Clinical Characteristics, Etiology, Treatment Outcomes, and Prognostic Factors.
Article in Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

13 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 31 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics, etiology, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in children to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of SSNHL in the pediatric population. STUDY
designRetrospective case review.
settingTertiary referral center. PATIENTS: Patients diagnosed with SSNHL from November 2011 to December 2017 with relatively complete clinical data.
interventionDiagnosis and systemic treatment of SSNHL.
main outcome measuresPatients' clinical characteristics, etiology, laboratory tests, imaging, pure-tone audiometry at admission, and discharge were analyzed.
resultsA total of 25 children and 149 adults with SSNHL were included. Recent or previous viral infection rates (81.8%) and fasting blood glucose level (5.23 + 1.47 mmol/L) in children with SSNHL were lower than those in adult SSNHL patients (p = 0.033, p = 0.033). Autoimmune abnormalities (90.0%) and plasma fibrinogen abnormalities (27.3%) were higher in children with SSNHL than those in adult SSNHL patients (40.0%, 8.8%, respectively, p < 0.05). The recovery rate in children (38.4%) with SSNHL is comparable to that in adults (22.6%), but children have a higher complete rate compared to adults (26.9%, 11.3%, respectively, p < 0.05). Children with a profound audiometric curve had a worse prognosis in comparison to other types of audiometric curves (p = 0.041).
conclusionsChildren with SSNHL have a lower rate of viral infection in comparison to adults with SSNHL. Fasting blood glucose levels, complement C3, C4, and fibrinogen may be closely related to childhood SSNHL. The recovery rate in children with SSNHL is comparable to that in adults, but children have a higher complete rate compared to adults. A profound hearing curve is an unfavorable prognostic factor in both children and adults with SSNHL.
