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

Sensorineural hearing loss associated with Kawasaki disease has been increasingly reported, but its etiology remains unclear. Most reported cases of sensorineural hearing loss associated with Kawasaki disease have been mild and reversible during acute or subacute phases. However, bilateral severe hearing loss as a complication of Kawasaki disease can cause delays in cognitive and speech development. A 4-year-old Japanese boy treated for Kawasaki disease had right-side moderate and left-side profound sensorineural hearing loss on the 141st day after onset of Kawasaki disease. Despite systemic steroid pulse treatment, hearing loss remained in both sides. After the recurrence of Kawasaki disease, hearing on the right side progressively worsened, meaning there was now severe hearing loss on both sides. Left cochlear implantation performed on the 1065th day after the onset of Kawasaki disease improved the patient's hearing and his ability to communicate. Sensorineural hearing loss associated with Kawasaki disease may progress over a long period and cause bilateral severe hearing loss, although past reports showed occurrence during acute or subacute phases. The clinical course of our patient suggests that intense inflammation caused by Kawasaki disease could be related to prolonged hearing loss. Cochlear implantation seems to be effective for sensorineural hearing loss associated with Kawasaki disease.
