Evaluation of Childhood Traumas, Depressive Symptoms, and Dissociative Experiences in Tinnitus Cases.
Article in Medeniyet medical journal, 2021. 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
objectiveTinnitus is described as the perceived sound without any external stimulus and is a common problem, but its mechanism is not fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate childhood traumas and dissociative experiences, which may be predisposing factors in patients with tinnitus.
methodsThe study included 90 voluntary patients (45 patients with tinnitus and 45 in the control group) aged older than 18 years who applied to the otorhinolaryngology clinic between November 2018 and February 2019 and were diagnosed with subjective tinnitus. A personal information form together with childhood trauma, hospital anxiety and depression, and dissociative experiences scales were used to assess the patients.
resultsOf all participants, 55.60% were males, 28.90% were 20-30 years old, 71.10% were married, 40% were primary school graduates, and 68.90% were employed. In addition, 77.78% of patients did not visit a psychiatrist and 75.56% did not have any chronic diseases. The mean total score of Childhood Trauma Scale for the tinnitus group was 54.37±10.17, the mean total score of The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for the tinnitus group in the depression subscale was 12.22±5.41 and in the anxiety subscale was 10.54±3.5, and Dissociative Experiences was 13.48±4.68. A positive significant relationship was found between the childhood traumas of the tinnitus cases in their depressive symptoms, and dissociative experiences (p<0.05).
conclusionsThe study results found a positive relationship between the childhood traumas and dissociative experiences of tinnitus cases, which can be considered as predisposing factors in patients with tinnitus who should also be investigated for childhood trauma, and the treatment approach should be multidisciplinary.
