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
backgroundIt is known that there is a relationship between hearing loss, which is an important cause of disability, psychological symptoms, and low quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate the anxiety, depression levels, and quality of life analysis of adults with postlingual hearing loss and who have undergone cochlear implants and to compare them with the data of subjects who have never had a hearing loss.
methodsThe prospective controlled clinical study included 53 subjects who had cochlear implants and 52 healthy controls in terms of hearing. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Short Form 36 were filled by all subjects to investigate their depression, anxiety, and quality of life levels.
resultsThe mean age of subjects was 42.88 ± 18.04, and 44% (23) were women. There was no significant difference between the study and control groups in terms of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores. Short Form 36 physical role (P = .018) and SF-36 general health (P = .014) in quality of life assessment sub-scores were statistically significantly higher in the study group than in the control group. When the correlation between the time elapsed after surgery and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores and Short Form 36 scores was evaluated, no significance was observed.
conclusionThe fact that the patients evaluated after cochlear implant surgery had similar depression and anxiety levels and quality of life as the controls, and even physical role and being significantly better in general health compared to the controls reveal the importance of regaining the hearing ability.
