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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship between vestibular and auditory functions in pediatric patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL).

methodsA total of 30 pediatric patients experiencing unilateral SSHL between 5.9 and 13.0 years of age were enrolled in this study. Pure tone audiometry was evaluated prior to treatment initiation and again after one month of treatment. Prior to treatment initiation, vertigo symptoms were noted; then several vestibular function tests were conducted including caloric testing, ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (o-VEMPs) and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (c-VEMPs). Associations between pre and post-treatment vestibular function and hearing threshold levels were analyzed.

resultsInitial hearing thresholds of children with vertigo were higher than thresholds of children without vertigo (92 dB vs 79 dB, P = 0.033), while initial hearing thresholds of children with abnormal caloric test findings were higher than thresholds of children with normal caloric test findings (93 dB vs 67 dB, P = 0.014). Cutoff values of hearing thresholds for those with vertigo symptoms and abnormal vestibular test results were 86.000- and 89.583-dB HL, respectively. Regarding prognosis, children with vertigo exhibited lower recovery rates than children without vertigo (33% vs 75%, P = 0.025); recovery rates of children with abnormal caloric test results were lower than the overall recovery rate (25% vs 73%, respectively, P = 0.039).

conclusionAssessments of vertigo symptoms and vestibular function are useful tools in predicting pediatric SSHL patient disease severity and prognosis.
