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

backgroundPatients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) tend to experience hearing loss, including idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL). However, little is known about the relationship between HD and ISSHL.

objectiveTo investigate the effects of HD on the hearing level and the treatment prognosis of ISSHL.

methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 23 patients with ISSHL receiving HD treatment (HD group) and 101 patients with ISSHL not receiving HD treatment (non-HD group), and assessed clinical features, results of audiometric tests and blood examination results.

resultsStatistically significant differences were not observed in pretreatment hearing level and hearing recovery of the ear affected with ISSHL between the two groups (

conclusionHD itself did not influence the treatment prognosis of ISSHL. Renal dysfunction itself, and not HD treatment, worsened the hearing level. As similar treatment results are expected, standard treatment should be administered to patients undergoing HD. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3b.
