[Catamnesis after a single intervention for tinnitus patients in a specialized clinic].
Article in HNO, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPatients suffering from tinnitus require individualized clarification (counseling), sometimes going beyond the scope of the field of ENT and the initiation of specific interventions.
aimTo investigate if patients who had a specific neurotological assessment including a psychosomatic medical history follow the recommendations provided to them. In addition, it should be examined whether compliance with the treatment suggestions has led to any psychological improvement in the suffering from tinnitus, evaluated by psychological tests. MATERIAL AND
methodIn295 out of 699 patients audiological tests were evaluated using the mini-questionnaire (TF 12) according to Hiller and Goebel and the German language version of the Hospitality Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at 2 points in time with an interval of a least 6 months. The group of those who followed the recommendations were compared to the group of those who did not follow the recommendations.
resultsA total of 180 patients (64.5%) followed at least 1 of the recommendations made to them. Patients who followed at least one recommendation benefited significantly more than the whole group in the TF 12 and in both HADS categories compared to the group that did not follow the recommendations.
conclusionIn addition to counseling it was shown that the implementation of a specific measure has a positive effect, detectable for the Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR). Specific for ENT, a hearing aid can initiate an improvement even if no statistically significant difference to the comparison group was found.
