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 psychoacoustic and audiological characteristics of patients with chronic subjective tinnitus and provide basis for the personalized diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus through a single tinnitus multielement integration sound therapy (T-MIST) and analysis of efficacy preliminarily.

methods145 patients with tinnitus were assessed by systematic medical history collection, professional examination of otolaryngology, audiology examination, full precision test (FPT), residual inhibition test (RIT), tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) and visual analog scale (VAS) annoyance. The correlation among factors was performed.

resultsThe frequency of tinnitus was correlated with the frequency of maximum hearing loss (P < 0.05). The loudness of tinnitus was correlated with the loudness of maximum hearing loss (P < 0.05). In this study, T-MIST was used to treat tinnitus. After treatment, tinnitus alleviated VAS annoyance (P < 0.05). The results of RIT were correlated with the effect of T-MIST (P < 0.05).

conclusionThere was a correlation between tinnitus and hearing loss. The RIT may indicate the effectiveness of acoustic therapy in patients. The FPT can find the hidden hearing loss without display on routine pure tone audiometry, so as to provide a clinical reference for the detection of early hearing loss in tinnitus patients.
