A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Notched Music Therapy for Tinnitus Patients.
Trial report in The journal of international advanced otology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 compare the tinnitus treatment outcomes of tailor-made notched music therapy and ordinary music.
methodsA double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on 104 Thai patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. Tinnitus matching was done on all subjects before they were randomly allocated to one of 2 groups: a treatment group (listening to tailor-made notched music) and a control group (listening to ordinary music). Each participant received their allocated intervention and was assessed at 1, 3, and 6 months.
resultsThe demographic data of the 2 groups showed no statistically significant differences. The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory and the total Visual Analong Scale also demonstrated no significant differences. However, the treatment group showed a greater reduction in their scores than the control group during the follow-up period.
conclusionTailor-made notched music therapy is an optional treatment for patients with bothersome subjective tinnitus. However, more research is needed to draw firm conclusions about its benefits and cost-effectiveness.
