Effect of Frequency Discrimination Training on Tinnitus in Individuals with Flat Sensorineural Hearing loss.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Tinnitus is associated with sensorineural hearing loss irrespective of its severity and configuration. Frequency discrimination training is a contemporary method used for the treatment of tinnitus. However, its efficacy in treating tinnitus associated with flat sensorineural hearing loss is not studied yet. The objectives were to assess (a) treatment effect across sessions on tinnitus percept using subjective questionnaires (b) association in the severity and handicap of tinnitus before and after FDT treatment. A total of 16 participants with mean age of 56 years, who had subjective tinnitus and flat sensorineural hearing loss ranging from mild to moderate were included in the study. However, only 11 participants completed the treatment regime. Each participant was provided FDT in a game format for 15 days. The Quantitative (tinnitus pitch and loudness in each session) and qualitative measurements (THI and TFI) were assessed in each participant. Friedman test revealed a significant reduction in handicap from tinnitus as reflected in THI and reduced functionality impairment from tinnitus as reflected in TFI across sessions. Besides, a significant association was observed in the Chi-square test in severity and handicap of tinnitus before and after therapy. A change in pitch and reduced loudness was noted in eight of 11 participants. Three of them had no tinnitus perception at the end of the treatment regime. The current study findings demonstrate the efficacy of FDT using a game module in treating tinnitus associated with flat sensorineural hearing loss. The perceived severity and handicap of tinnitus reduces as a function of treatment.
