Association of sudden sensorineural hearing loss with asthma: a longitudinal follow-up study using a national sample cohort.
Article in BMJ open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
objectiveTo investigate the risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) in asthma patients.
designA longitudinal follow-up study using a retrospective cohort
settingThe 2002-2013 Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort PARTICIPANTS AND
interventionsThe ≥40 years old Korean population were enrolled. The asthma patients were 1:1 matched with the control group for age, sex, income and region of residence.
main outcome measureThe occurrence of SSNHL was followed in both asthma and control groups. The stratified Cox proportional hazard model was used. Age, sex, income and region of residence were stratified, and Charlson Comorbidity Index scores, obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption and atopic dermatitis histories were adjusted. Subgroup analysis was performed according to age, sex, obesity, smoking and alcohol consumption.
resultsThe results showed that 1.0% (877/90 564) of the asthma group and 0.8% (706/90,564) of the control group exhibited SSNHL (p<0.001). The asthma group demonstrated a higher HR for SSNHL than the control group (adjusted HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.36, p<0.001). According to age and sex, the female subgroup showed elevated HRs for SSNHL in asthma patients. Both the non-smoker and current smoker groups demonstrated higher HRs for SSNHL in asthma patients than in controls. According to alcohol consumption or obesity, the <1 time a week alcohol consumption group and normal weight and severe obesity groups showed higher HRs for SSNHL in asthma patients than in the controls.
conclusionsAdult asthma patients had a higher risk of SSNHL than the control participants matched for demographic and socioeconomic factors.
