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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesGinkgo biloba and choline alfoscerate are used as adjuvant treatment for presbycusis, but studies on how the monotherapy differs from the combination therapy are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the audiologic outcomes between Ginkgo biloba monotherapy and Ginkgo biloba and choline alfoscerate combination therapy. Subjects and.

methodsThe study groups are divided into three: negative control, monotherapy, and combination therapy groups. All groups' pure tone audiometry was measured by dividing the study period into Initial, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, 12-15 months, and checked whether differences between groups were present.

resultsThe combination therapy showed less gradient gap than the monotherapy, indicating less hearing loss rate than the monotherapy. Based on the Kaplan-Meier curve, the combination therapy showed better results in terms of survival time of hearing.

conclusionsAs a pharmacological treatment for presbycusis, combination therapy shows better results than monotherapy.
