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
Background: Chronic tinnitus has a lot impact on the quality of life of person by affecting his/ her physical health, occupational health and social relations. It can lead to sleep interference, cognitive difficulties, lack of concentration, anxiety, frustration, anger and depression. The present study showed the severity and impact of tinnitus on quality of life of subjects with or without hearing loss using tinnitus functional index (TFI). Methods: Subjects with history of tinnitus with or without hearing loss including informed consent, otoscopy, pure tone audiometry (PTA) were done. Grading of tinnitus was done by using tinnitus functional index score. Results: The mean age of participants were 50.20 ± 4.2 years and male to female ratio were found to be 1.05:1. On PTA, 122 participants had hearing loss and 28 had no hearing loss. 49 patients had mild TFI score, 85 had moderate TFI score and 16 had severe hearing loss. The difference in the severity of tinnitus using TFI between normal hearing and sensorineural hearing loss individual was statistically significant. On the other hand, the severity of tinnitus and degree of hearing loss were also found to be statistically significant with p value < 0.0001 chi. Sq = 77.39. This shows that with increase in increase in hearing loss there is increase in TFI sore. Conclusion: Tinnitus has a negative impact on the quality of life like pshycological, emotional and physical effects. The effects of tinnitus is more in those with co-existing hearing loss.
