Diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative brainstem auditory evoked potential for predicting hearing loss after vestibular schwannoma surgery.

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
Objective: This meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic value of intraoperative brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) for predicting post-operative hearing loss. Methods: Research articles in MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched and selected up to 20 January 2022, and data were extracted following a standard procedure. A diagnostic accuracy test meta-analysis was performed using a mixed-effect binary regression model. Results: A total of 693 patients from 15 studies were extracted. The change in intraoperative BAEP showed high sensitivity (0.95) but low specificity (0.37), with an area under the curve of 0.83. Diagnostic accuracy of the loss of potentials showed high sensitivity (0.82) and specificity (0.79). The area under the curve was 0.88. No factor was found to account for the heterogeneity of the results according to the meta-regression and subgroup analyses (all Conclusions: Our results showed that the loss of BAEP has meaningful value for predicting hearing loss after vestibular schwannoma surgery. The change in BAEP is also important for its high sensitivity during hearing preservation surgery.
