Progression of Contralateral Hearing Loss in Patients with Unilateral Ear Involvement: A Scoping Review.

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
backgroundProgression of contralateral hearing loss following otologic and neuro-otologic surgeries is a distressing and rare complication. The aim of this study was to systematically review the suspected etiologies and audiological findings in adults who experienced contralateral hearing loss.
methodsPubMed/MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ISI Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were searched for this scoping review. The current review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. No limits were placed on language or year of publication.
resultsOf a total of 46 studies, 43 studies met the inclusion criteria reporting contralateral hearing loss. The included studies were classified into 3 different categories: contralateral hearing loss after skull base surgeries (n=21), contralateral hearing loss after middle ear surgeries (n=17), and contralateral hearing loss after traumatic lesions (n=5). The cerebrospinal fluid leakage and drill-generated noise were reported as the most reported etiology of contralateral hearing loss following skull base and middle ear surgeries, respectively. The onset of contralateral hearing loss varied from immediately to 18 months after surgery. The severity of contralateral hearing loss varied from a slight to a profound degree of hearing loss.
conclusionOur results highlighted that contralateral hearing loss should be considered following the skull base and middle ear surgeries. Furthermore, this rare complication should be noticed after traumatic lesions.
