Prognostic Factors for Hearing Preservation Surgery in Small Vestibular Schwannoma.
Review in Audiology research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveto evaluate recent contributions to the literature on prognostic factors of hearing preservation in small vestibular schwannoma microsurgery.
methodsreview of the most recent studies.
resultsfactors such as tumor size, preoperative hearing status, tumor growth rate, tumor origin, surgical approach, radiological characteristics, results of preoperative neurophysiological tests, preoperative symptoms and demographic features have been investigated and some of them reported to be significant in the prediction of hearing preservation.
conclusionstumor size and preoperative hearing status are the most impactful factors and play a key role in patient selection for hearing preservation surgery. Other features such as fundal extension, tumor origin and impaired ABR could have prognostic value on hearing preservation. Tumor growth rate, preoperative impedance, cVEMPs and age have also recently been found to be significant, but more studies are needed. The role of preoperative tinnitus, vertigo and gender is lacking and controversial, whereas the differences between available surgical approaches have been smoothed out in recent years.
