The audiogram: Detection of pure-tone stimuli in ototoxicity monitoring and assessments of investigational medicines for the inner ear.
Review in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Pure-tone thresholds have long served as a gold standard for evaluating hearing sensitivity and documenting hearing changes related to medical treatments, toxic or otherwise hazardous exposures, ear disease, genetic disorders involving the ear, and deficits that develop during aging. Although the use of pure-tone audiometry is basic and standard, interpretation of thresholds obtained at multiple frequencies in both ears over multiple visits can be complex. Significant additional complexity is introduced when audiometric tests are performed within ototoxicity monitoring programs to determine if hearing loss occurs as an adverse reaction to an investigational medication and during the design and conduct of clinical trials for new otoprotective agents for noise and drug-induced hearing loss. Clinical trials using gene therapy or stem cell therapy approaches are emerging as well with audiometric outcome selection further complicated by safety issues associated with biological therapies. This review addresses factors that must be considered, including test-retest variability, significant threshold change definitions, use of ototoxicity grading scales, interpretation of early warning signals, measurement of notching in noise-induced hearing loss, and application of age-based normative data to interpretation of pure-tone thresholds. Specific guidance for clinical trial protocols that will assure rigorous methodological approaches and interpretable audiometric data are provided.
