1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The development and processing of tinnitus is often associated with stress. There are many publications on this subject that have investigated possible connections between stress perception and tinnitus symptoms using different concepts and different test inventories. In this review, we present the development of Selye's concept of stress using the transactional stress model of Lazarus and its transfer to patients suffering from tinnitus. The literature evaluating the influence of stress on tinnitus symptoms with partly very different concepts is critically reviewed. For example, it is suggested that psychosocial stress has the same likelihood of contributing to tinnitus as noise in the workplace. However, what is striking in previous studies is that "stress" as an influencing variable could not be clearly verified with suitable psychometric test procedures or that no significant differences-to very different comparison groups-could be shown. Finally, a possible therapeutic approach to stress management is outlined.
