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
introductionThe universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) allows for early detection of hearing impairment (HI). The goal of this current study was to evaluate the impact of cultural background involving consanguineous marriage on newborn HI diagnosed using UNHS, and compliance with hearing rehabilitation. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective cohort study that included all children born at a single tertiary medical center between 2011 and 2017 who did not pass the UNHS (oto-acoustic emission and auditory brainstem response), and were diagnosed with HI. The study group included children from consanguineous marriage cultural background which were compared to a control group-all other children. Data were retrieved from the computerized medical charts and included epidemiological, audiological, and pregnancy/delivery-related data, and known risk factors for congenital HI.
resultsA total of 238 (196 study and 42 control) neonates were diagnosed with HI. Family history of HI was significantly more prevalent in the study group in mild-severe and profound HI subgroups (p = 0.03 and 0.01, respectively). Study group demonstrated lower rates of cochlear implantation (CI) compliance (p = 0.079), performed at a significantly older age (23 months (IQR 17-36.5) vs. 16 (IQR 12-26) months, p = 0.021). When recommended, bilateral CI compliance was significantly lower in the study group (94.1 vs.48.9%, p < 0.001).
conclusionUNHS allows for early HI detection among minority populations at higher risk for CI, yet compliance rates remain lower compared with control. Familiarity of families with the importance of early detection and HI risk may result in higher compliance rates for cochlear implantation. Health providers should aim to improve education and communication with this unique group of patients and consider health promotion programs.
