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

Auditory processing difficulties and hearing loss have been reported among stroke survivors, but is largely neglected. Post-stroke hearing impairment may affect communication between stroke survivors and healthcare professionals, thereby restricting rehabilitation and long-term patient outcome. In this prospective pilot study, we sought to determine the prevalence and pattern of hearing loss in stroke patients when compared to age and sex matched controls. 50 consecutive patients with first-ever stroke, both hemorrhagic and ischemic, and a comparison cohort of 50 age and sex matched controls were assessed. Pure Tone Audiogram was performed in all patients within 15 days of stroke onset and mean hearing loss was determined. Mean audiometric threshold was significantly higher in both ears in stroke patients (mean 44.0 ± 12.1 dB) when compared to the control subjects (36.1 ± 11.4 dB;
