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

purposeIdiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) is a hearing impairment greater than 30 dB at three consecutive frequencies developing in less than 3 days. The aim of this study was to evaluate VEMPs and caloric testing in patients affected by ISSHL without vertigo.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 35 subjects affected by ISSHL. The audio-vestibular investigation consisted of pure-tone and speech audiometry, impedance, bithermal caloric testing, oVEMPs and cVEMPs.

resultsVEMPS were abnormal in 21 patients (60%): cVEMPs in 12 (34.2%) and oVEMPs in 19 (54.2%). 10 patients (28.5%) presented with both c-and oVEMPs altered. Subjects without vestibular involvement showed a significant lower PTA in the affected ear both at admission and at discharge. Recovery rate was significantly higher in group without vestibular involvement.

conclusionThe evaluation of the vestibular system can be useful for predicting the auditory recovery in patients without vertigo also.
