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

objectivesObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with auditory dysfunction both to the cochlear and higher auditory pathways. However, available literatures presented conflicting results. We aimed to study the impact of OSA severity and their polysomnography parameters on hearing function. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 44 patients were included after evaluation for sleep disorders and were divided into four groups in accordance with apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Pure tone audiometry (PTA), distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) were compared in commensurate with the severity of AHI. Polysomnography oximetry parameters of oxygen desaturation index, mean SPO2, minimum SPO2 and percent SPO2 < 90% were correlated with their respective PTA, DPOAE and ABR results.

resultsThere was no significant change in the PTA, DPOAE and ABR results in connection with AHI severity. However, we found significant correlations between mean SPO2 and percent SPO2 < 90% with ABR wave I, III and V absolute latencies. Minimum SPO2 was also significantly correlated with wave III peak latency changes.

conclusionsMean SPO2, percent SPO2 < 90% and minimum SPO2 could be key prognostic indicators of central auditory dysfunction in OSA patients. These parameters should be explored further as indicators of OSA severity rather than utilizing AHI alone. The hypoxic burden derived could be a better predictor of auditory function abnormalities rather than one derived from AHI.
