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.

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.

Abstract

Congenital hearing loss affects one in 500 newborns. Sequence variations in OTOF, which encodes the calcium-binding protein otoferlin, are responsible for 1-8% of congenital, nonsyndromic hearing loss and are the leading cause of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders. The natural history of otoferlin-related hearing loss, the relationship between OTOF genotype and hearing loss phenotype, and the outcomes of clinical practices in patients with this genetic disorder are incompletely understood because most analyses have reported on small numbers of cases with homogeneous OTOF genotypes. Here, we present the first systematic, quantitative literature review of otoferlin-related hearing loss, which analyzes patient-specific data from 422 individuals across 61 publications. While most patients display a typical phenotype of severe-to-profound hearing loss with prelingual onset, 10-15% of patients display atypical phenotypes, including mild-to-moderate, progressive, and temperature-sensitive hearing loss. Patients' phenotypic presentations appear to depend on their specific genotypes. For example, non-truncating variants located in and immediately downstream of the C
