A Hospital based study on sudden sensorineural Hearing Loss: It's audiological characteristics and prevalence.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectivesTo analyze the prevalence & characteristics of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
methodsThis cross sectional study including n=377 cases of sensorineural hearing impairment, using non-probability convenience sampling, who fulfilled the selection criteria was conducted from 1
resultsThe prevalence rate of sudden sensorineural hearing loss of 14(3.7%) being significantly more common in males 11(78%) than females 3(22%) (p=0.05) & age group 15-35 years (p=0.001). It is commonly of severe or profound degree with downward sloping audiogram (p<0.05), however it is not associated with vertigo (p=0.32), tinnitus (p=0.08) with no side predilection (p=0.27).
conclusionWe conclude that the prevalence of SSNHL is 3.7% being significantly more prevalent in males and those aged15-25 years. It is mostly characterized by severe to profound degree of hearing loss with downward sloping audiogram with no associated vertigo, tinnitus and side predilection.
