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

Susac syndrome is a rare disease presenting with a classic triad of symptoms. These are sensorineural hearing loss, encephalopathy, and branch retinal artery occlusions. Initial presentation is usually headache and symptoms of encephalopathy. Hearing loss is unusual in the early stages but, when it does present, can often lead to a misdiagnosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Hence, neurological and retinal examinations are essential to an accurate diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to raise awareness of Susac syndrome among physicians and facilitate recognition of its manifestation, especially in those patients presenting with hearing loss alone. Identifying Susac syndrome that presents as sudden sensorineural hearing loss can be challenging but a number of case reviews have been reported in recent years and treatment guidelines are available.
