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 need for monitoring hearing and auditory function during drug therapy and other treatments that have the potential to cause hearing loss is well documented. Besides the main purpose of ototoxic monitoring, which is to provide feedback to the attending physician about the effects the treatment is having on the auditory system, it is also helpful in setting expectations for the patient and his/her family about the communication issues that may result from the drug therapy. This article will review tests available to an audiologist, both subjective and objective, that can be used to effectively monitor hearing levels and auditory function during treatment. Published guidelines and various ototoxic monitoring protocols are reviewed regarding tests administered, what constitutes a significant change in test results and how these findings are reported, and the impact significant changes may have on the course of treatment. Test protocols from different institutions are compared for both similarities and contrasts. Effective scheduling and test location are key to a successful monitoring program. Finally, the need to streamline ototoxic monitoring of hearing and auditory function to reduce test time and make it less stressful and tiresome on the patient will be considered.
