Efficacy of intratympanic or postauricular subperiosteal corticosteroid injection combined with systemic corticosteroid in the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss: A prospective randomized study.

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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of intratympanic or postauricular subperiosteal glucocorticoid injection combined with systemic glucocorticoid in the treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Methods: This study is a prospective randomized controlled study. This study included unilateral SSNHL patients who were hospitalized in our department between January 2020 and June 2021. Patients were randomly divided into three groups (groups A, B, and C). Patients in group A were treated with an intratympanic corticosteroid injection combined with systemic corticosteroid treatment, and patients in group B received a postauricular corticosteroid injection combined with systemic corticosteroid treatment. Patients in group C (control group) were treated with systemic corticosteroid alone. The case number of groups A, B, and C was 311, 375, and 369, respectively. Results: There was no significant difference in gender distribution, the proportion of left and right affected ears, and the average interval from onset to treatment among the three groups ( Conclusion: The addition of intratympanic or postauricular corticosteroid to systemic steroids did not result in a significant effect on hearing recovery in SSNHL. No obvious complications occur in SSNHL patients treated with intratympanic injection or postauricular injection of corticosteroid.
