Incidence and risk factors of hearing loss in patients with Turner Syndrome.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: Hearing loss (HL) is one of the main medical complications for Turner Syndrome (TS) patients, with an earlier presentation and higher incidence than normal women. However, the etiology of HL in TS is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the hearing status of TS patients in China and the influencing factors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for early intervention treatment for TS patients with HL. Methods: In total 46 female patients aged 14-32 diagnosed with TS received tympanic membrane and audiological examinations, including pure tone audiometry and tympanometry. In addition, the effects of karyotype, sex hormone levels, thyroid function, insulin, blood lipids, bone mineral density, age and other factors on hearing levels were analyzed, and the possible risk factors associated with HL in TS patients were explored. Results: In 9 patients (19.6%) had HL, including 1 (2.2%) with mild conductive hearing loss, 5 (10.9%) with mild sensorineural hearing loss, 3 (6.5%) with moderate sensorineural hearing loss. TS is often associated with age-related mid-frequency and high-frequency HL, and the incidence of HL increases with age. Compared with other karyotypes, patients with 45, X haplotype have an increased risk of mid-frequency HL. Conclusions: Therefore, karyotype may be a predictor of hearing problems in TS.
