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

purposeCarpenters are constantly exposed to a noise level of 82-100 dB(A) in their professional lives. The aim of this study is to evaluate the hearing status of carpenters with pure -tone audiometry and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions test.

methodsA total of 62 individuals were enrolled. The study group consisted of 31 carpenters and the controls were age and sex matched healthy individuals who were not exposed to continuous or sudden noise.

resultsThe average age of the carpenters is 44.58 ± 10.33, the average age of the control group is 41.84 ± 8.65 and there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.262). There was a significant hearing loss in the study group nearly at all frequencies when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The emission values of the right and left ears of the carpenters were significantly lower than the controls at 2000 and 2800 Hz (p < 0.05).

conclusionAccordingly, carpenters seem to be susceptible to the development of noise-induced hearing loss.
