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

In this study, our purpose is to evaluate cochlear and vestibular function in juveniles with IgA vasculitis using audiometry, distortion product otoacoustic emissions, and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP) tests. Forty children diagnosed with IgA vasculitis from the pediatry clinic and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy children were evaluated with distortion product otoacoustic emissions, audiometry, and cVEMP test in a tertiary hospital. The audiometry average values for both ears of the IgA vasculitis group and the control subjects were compared, and as a result, median 4.7-dB sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) was found for the IgA vasculitis group compared to the control group at 250 Hz and it was statistically significant (p < 0.001). An average of 6.4-dB SHL was detected at 8000 Hz (p < 0.001). There was a statistically significant difference among IgA vasculitis and control groups regarding measurement results of average p1-n1 latency time of both ears (0.9 ms (ms) increase, p = 0.035). In IgA vasculitis patients, the median amplitude difference of both ears' average p1 n1 was found to be 5.6 mV, statistically significantly decreased compared to the control group (p = 0.003).

conclusionThis study, firstly in literature, demonstrated that IgA vasculitis may have association with hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction in children. We think this might be due to autoimmune mechanisms. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Ig A vasculitis is a leukocytoclastic vasculitis with unknown etiology, involving the skin, joints, gastrointestinal system, kidneys, and rarely other organs. • No study has been reported for the cochlear and vestibular association of Ig A vasculitis in current literature. WHAT IS NEW: • This study demonstrated that Ig A vasculitis may have association with hearing loss in children. • This study also demonstrated that Ig A vasculitis may have association with vestibular dysfunction in children.
