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

The coronavirus disease of 2019 is a global pandemic disease severely affecting the upper respiratory tract that can be fatal in some instances. The virus most commonly affects the respiratory system. However, in certain cases it affects the other systems, including cardiovascular, renal, gastrointestinal, neurological, and auditory. Concerning the hearing and balance system, the microcirculation supply to the inner ear is hampered thus causing audiovestibular symptoms. Several case studies have reported sudden sensorineural hearing loss post-coronavirus disease and its detrimental impact on overall hearing. As both sudden sensorineural hearing loss and coronavirus disease deals with an emergency situation, there is a need to document case studies on how these individuals have been assessed and treated. The article has systematically reviewed these case reports involving a search strategy in databases like PubMed, PubMed Central, science direct, J-GATE, Google Scholar, and a manual Google Search.
