Bidirectional relation between depression and sudden sensorineural hearing loss: Two longitudinal follow-up studies using a national sample cohort.

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.

Abstract
A few studies have explored the association between depression and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). This study was aimed to investigate the reciprocal relations between SSNHL and depression using a nationwide cohort of the Korean population. Subjects aged > 20 years from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort were enrolled from 2002 to 2013. In study I, a total of 60,178 depressed patients were matched 1:4 with 242,872 control I subjects. In study II, a total of 4,328 SSNHL patients were 1:4 matched with 17,312 control II subjects. They were matched for age, sex, income, and region of residence. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was adjusted. Subgroup analysis was performed according to age and sex. The crude and adjusted CCI hazard ratios (HRs) of SSNHL in depressed patients (study I) and depression in SSNHL patients (study II) were analyzed using the stratified Cox proportional-hazard model. In study I, the depression group exhibited an elevated adjusted HR of SSNHL 1.16 times that of the control group (confidence interval [95% CI] = 1.02-1.31, P < 0.023). The middle-aged women subgroup demonstrated an increased risk of SSNHL within the depression group. In study II, the SSNHL group showed a higher adjusted HR of depression 1.29 times that of control II group (95% CI = 1.06-1.57, P = 0.010). The middle-aged women subgroup showed an elevated risk of depression in the SSNHL group. The risk of SSNHL was elevated in the depressed patients and the risk of depression was increased in the SSNHL patients.
