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

It remains poorly understood how brain causal connectivity networks change following hearing loss and their effects on cognition. In the current study, we investigated this issue. Twelve patients with long-term bilateral sensorineural hearing loss [mean age, 55.7 ± 2.0; range, 39-63 years; threshold of hearing level (HL): left ear, 49.0 ± 4.1 dB HL, range, 31.25-76.25 dB HL; right ear, 55.1 ± 7.1 dB HL, range, 35-115 dB HL; the duration of hearing loss, 16.67 ± 4.5, range, 3-55 years] and 12 matched normally hearing controls (mean age, 52.3 ± 1.8; range, 42-63 years; threshold of hearing level: left ear, 17.6 ± 1.3 dB HL, range, 11.25-26.25 dB HL; right ear, 19.7 ± 1.3 dB HL, range, 8.75-26.25 dB HL) participated in this experiment. We constructed and analyzed the causal connectivity networks based on functional magnetic resonance imaging data of these participants. Two-sample
