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

Inner ear disorders have a variety of causes, and many factors can contribute to the exacerbation of cochlear and vestibular pathology. This systematic review aimed to analyze clinical data on the coexistence and potential causal interaction between allergic diseases and inner ear conditions. A search of PubMed and Web of Science identified 724 articles, of which 21 were selected for full-text analysis based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The epidemiologic evidence found overwhelmingly supports an association between allergic disease and particular inner ear disorders represented by a high prevalence of allergic reactions in some patients with Ménière's disease (MD), idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL), and acute low-tone hearing loss (ALHL). In addition, patients with MD, ISSHL, and ALHL had higher levels of total serum IgE than healthy subjects. Finally, in some cases, changes in cochlear potential may have been induced by antigen exposure, while desensitization alleviated allergy and inner ear-related symptoms. The exact mechanism of interaction between the auditory/vestibular and immune systems is not fully understood, and further clinical and basic research is needed to understand the relationship between the two systems fully.
