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

This study explored whether there were long-term hearing and vestibular outcome differences between five pairs of identical twins who had been infected with the congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection before birth. Data were collected from the medical records at the Audiological Clinic, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. The congenital CMV infection resulted in high variations in vestibular and hearing function within, and between, the genetically identical twin pairs. Clinicians need to be aware that treatment and interventions may need to differ substantially when identical twins have hearing issues related to the congenital CMV infection.
