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
purposeTo develop a diagnostic model to identify patients at high risk of a CPA lesion.
methodsA consecutive cohort of patients with AAD referred by a general practitioner, who underwent their first MRI examination of the CPA between 2005 and 2015 was included. Demographics, symptoms, findings during physical examination, and pure-tone audiometry were used as potential predictors. The presence of a CPA lesion was used as outcome.
resultsWe analyzed data of 2,214 patients, detecting 73 CPA lesions in 69 (3.1%) patients. The final model contained eleven variables, namely gender [male] [OR 1.055 (95% CI 0.885-1.905)], sudden onset of hearing loss [OR 0.768 (95% CI 0.318-0.992)], gradual onset of hearing loss [OR 1.069 (95% CI 0.500-1.450)], unilateral tinnitus [OR 0.682 (95% CI 0.374-0.999)], complaints of unilateral aural fullness [OR 1.006 (95% CI 0.783-2.155)], instability [OR 1.006 (95% CI 0.580-2.121)], headache [OR 0.959 (95% CI 0.059-1.090)], facial numbness [OR 2.746 (95% CI 0.548-11.085)], facial nerve dysfunction during physical examination [OR 1.024 (95% CI 0.280-3.702)], and asymmetry in BC at 1 kHz [OR 1.013 (95% CI 1.000-1.027)] and 4 kHz [OR 1.008 (95% CI 1.000-1.026)].
conclusionThe proposed diagnostic model is a first step in selecting patients with a high risk of a CPA lesion among those with AAD. It needs to be externally validated prior to its implementation in clinical practice.
