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

STUDY

objectivesTo evaluate the risk of insomnia in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL).

methodsA retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study was conducted using a nationwide representative sample from the National Sample Cohort 2002-2013 data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service. The SSNHL group (n = 631) included patients diagnosed with SSNHL between January 2002 and December 2005. The comparison group (4 controls for every patient with SSNHL, n = 2,524) was selected using propensity score matching, according to sociodemographic factors and the year of enrollment. Each patient was monitored until 2013. Survival analysis, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the incidence, survival rate, and hazard ratio (HR) of insomnia for each group.

resultsAmong the 3,155 individuals included in the study population (male, 48.6%), the overall incidence of insomnia during the 11-year follow-up was 1.4-fold higher in the SSNHL group than in the non-SSNHL group (106.3 vs 138.3 per 10,000 person-years; adjusted HR, 1.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-1.78). Moreover, the adjusted HRs for developing insomnia (depression, 3.33 [95% CI, 2.22-5.01]; anxiety, 1.78 [95% CI, 1.27-2.53]; tinnitus, 1.56 [95% CI, 1.2-2.03]; dizziness, 1.76 [95% CI, 1.27-2.44]) were higher in patients with comorbidities.

conclusionsThis observational study suggests that SSNHL is associated with an increased incidence of insomnia. Specifically, findings from this study show that patients with tinnitus, depression, anxiety, and dizziness had a higher risk of developing insomnia than those without tinnitus, depression, anxiety, and dizziness.
