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

purposePrevious studies have shown that inflammatory markers are associated with hearing impairment in participants with inflammatory diseases. Therefore, screening for inflammatory status may have value in predicting the risk of hearing loss (HL) in participants with underlying inflammation. Therefore, red cell distribution width (RDW), an indirect indicator of inflammatory status, was used. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical association between RDW and hearing impairment in a Korean population with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

methodsIn this cross sectional study, a total of 461 participants with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m

resultsThe numbers of participants in the Low, Middle, and High tertiles were 172, 154, and 135, respectively. The AUROCs of RDW and hs-CRP for HL were 0.644 and 0.522, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the Low/Mid-Freq, High-Freq, and AHT values were lowest in the participants in the Low tertile compared with those in the Middle or High tertiles Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that participants in the High tertile exhibited 2.32- and 1.78-fold higher odds for HL compared to those of the Low and Middle tertiles, respectively. There were positive associations between RDW and AHT values.

conclusionHigh RDW was associated with increased odds of hearing impairment in the Korean population with CKD.
