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

purposeTo evaluate tinnitus and its management in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) who underwent surgery, we investigate the effect of surgical approach or residual hearing on tinnitus severity and the effects of intervention for tinnitus including educational counseling, sound therapy using hearing aids (HAs), and medication (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and SSRIs).

methodsSeventy-one subjects of VS patients who underwent surgery were included. Their tinnitus severity was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). The relationships between postoperative THI scores and surgery types or residual hearing levels were examined. We also examined longitudinal changes in THI scores and the efficacy of the intervention.

resultsSurgery approach, hearing preservation or hearing loss surgery, and residual hearing levels were not significantly related to the postoperative tinnitus severity. In 71 cases, 45 cases did not require any management for tinnitus. On the contrary, 26 patients had at least one episode of tinnitus distress (THI score was greater than or equal to 18). Educational counseling alone was found to be effective in 17 cases out of the 26 cases, and the remaining 9 cases required more intervention than educational counseling alone. We selected sound therapy with HA for 7 cases and administration of SSRI for 2 cases, which was found to be highly effective in 8 cases.

conclusionBased on the present study, we consider that appropriate management may be possible for tinnitus in the majority of VS patients who underwent surgery.
