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 study the duration of automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) test for initial hearing screening and the factors influencing the duration in neonates.

methodsA total of 472 neonates who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were enrolled as the study group and 182 healthy neonates were enrolled as the healthy control group. The influence of the duration of AABR test on the initial screening results was observed in the two groups. The influencing factors for the AABR test duration were analyzed.

resultsIn the AABR screening of 180, 360, and 540 seconds, the study group had a failure rate of 41.5%, 28.4%, and 24.4% respectively, while the healthy control group had a failure rate of 31.3%, 19.8%, and 15.4% respectively, showing a decreasing trend with the extension of test time in both groups (P<0.05). In the two groups, the screening results of 180-second testing were moderately consistent with those of 360- or 540-second testing (Kappa<0.75, P<0.05), and the screening results of 360-second testing were highly consistent with those of 540-second testing (Kappa>0.75, P<0.05). In the study group, the median duration of AABR test was 108 seconds (95%CI: 97-120 seconds), which was significantly longer than the duration of 75 seconds (95%CI: 65-85 seconds) in the healthy control group (P<0.05). The Cox regression analysis showed that maternal age ≥35 years, anemia, and electrolyte disturbance (RR<1, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for prolonged AABR test duration, while the prolonged continuous positive airway pressure-assisted ventilation was a protective factor (RR>1, P<0.05).

conclusionsThe AABR test time of 360-540 seconds for initial hearing screening helps to reduce false positive results due to environmental and risk factors in neonates. It may be useful to reduce the false positive results of AABR screening before discharge by taking corresponding intervention measures for NICU neonates with high risk factors.
