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

purposeCochlear synaptopathy or hidden hearing loss is difficult to assess due to the lack of sensitivity with standard audiological tests. Poor speech perception, especially in the presence of noise or tinnitus, is the most common complaint of these patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify articles in peer-reviewed journals that used behavioral measures in the effective assessment of cochlear synaptopathy or hidden hearing loss.

methodsThe manuscripts were searched in various international databases, and the manuscripts were screened based on titles, abstracts, and full-length content. A total of 14 human studies were selected after the appropriate exclusion of other articles.

resultsResults showed that high-frequency audiometry could be used for the early identification of cochlear synaptopathy. The tone in noise detection test can also be added in the test battery along with speech perception in noise. The amplitude modulation detection test, interaural phase difference, and differential sensitivity tests require more research before using them for the assessment of cochlear synaptopathy or hidden hearing loss.

conclusionsSelf-reports and questionnaires also help in determining the extent of noise exposure.
