Hospital Admission Profile Related to Inner Ear Diseases in England and Wales.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundDue to an expansion in the usage of medications (such as anticancer therapies), increased exposure to noise, and an increase in life expectancy, the prevalence of inner ear disease-related hearing loss is rising. Diseases of the inner ear are frequently accompanied by other conditions, such as chronic heart failure, systemic inflammation, arterial hypertension, and cerebrovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of hospital admissions linked to inner ear diseases in England and Wales.
methodThis was an ecological descriptive study using public medical databases in England and Wales. Diagnostic codes for diseases of the inner ear (H80-H83) were used to identify all hospital admissions. Between 1999 and 2020, the chi-squared test was used to assess the difference between the admission rates.
resultsFrom 5704 in 1999 to 19,097 in 2020, the total annual number of hospital admissions increased by 234.8%, which corresponds to a 192.3% increase in the admission rate [from 10.94 (95% CI 10.66-11.22) in 1999 to 31.98 (95% CI 31.52-32.43) in 2020 per 100,000 people,
conclusionInner ear disease admissions increased markedly in England and Wales during the past two decades. Females and the middle-aged population were at higher risk of being admitted for inner ear diseases. Further cohort studies are warranted to identify other risk factors and develop effective prevention strategies.
