[Early detection of unilateral connatal hearing loss via newborn hearing screening and the implementation of the SAV-concept 2017 in lower Austria and Burgenland].

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.
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
backgroundRecent studies showed the benefit or even need of hearing aids or cochlear implants in children with unilateral hearing loss to improve localization abilities and speech intelligibility. Therefore, the Audiology working group of the Austrian ENT society adopted the SAV-concept in 2017 (Screening Abklärung Versorgung von konnatalen Hörstörungen - Konzeptpapier 2017 AG Audiologie) to establish methods for testing, the mode of testing both ears, the desired schedule for the screening process and the subsequent therapy.
methodsThe screening data were collected via questionnaires sent to all maternity and neonatal wards in different districts by responsible persons of the Austrian ENT society. Data on the implementation of the SAV concept were evaluated retrospectively based on the responses for the regions of Lower Austria and Burgenland.
resultsThe feedback, the implementation and responsibility for the screening program in respect of method and schedule differs throughout the federal states of Austria as well as in hospitals of state health organizations.
conclusionAustria in comparison to other European countries is missing a central documentation and tracking system via a governmental screening coordination office as the data are not generally transferred to a common birth register. Therefore, different timetables and organization for the universal new born hearing screening in the federal states as well as in state organizations were found causing a delayed diagnosis and treatment of children with unilateral hearing loss.
