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

objectiveTo investigate a cohort of adult single-sided deafness (SSD) patients who received a cochlear implant and to determine the impact of underlying causes of etiology and duration of deafness on outcome STUDY

designRetrospective data analysis

settingTertiary referral centre with a large cochlear implant program SUBJECTS AND

methodsA demographic description of 55 adult patients implanted between 2009 and 2016. The best available speech perception score in every patient using the Freiburg Numbers, Freiburg Monosyllables and the Hochmair-Schulz-Moser (HSM) sentence test measured at the 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month intervals, and the yearly follow-up appointments were examined. A multivariate regression analysis was conducted on the variables speech test, duration of deafness and etiology. Patients were split into four groups according to their duration of deafness (shorter duration of 10 years or less versus longer duration of more than 10 years) and etiology (inflammatory disease versus other causes).

resultsThe median word reception score for the Monosyllables at 65 dB SPL were 43.75% (IQR: 29.38) and 67.50% (IQR: 25.63) at 80 dB SPL at 1 year following cochlear implantation. The median percentage score correct for the HSM sentence test was 80% (IQR: 62.95). Etiology of the reviewed patient cohort revealed that most frequent causes for deafness were sudden hearing losses and inflammatory etiologies, e.g. otitis media, labyrinthitis, meningitis, cholesteatoma or mumps. The duration of deafness was not significantly associated with poor speech perception outcome. A significant correlation was found for inflammatory diseases and duration of deafness of longer than 10 years.

conclusionThe etiology and duration of deafness are important factors for the estimated outcome in speech perception in SSD patients. Presented data reveal that an inflammatory disease leading to deafness in combination with a long duration of deafness (10 + years) lead to poorer speech perception outcomes.
