The Impact of Post-Birth Timing on OAE Test Efficacy: An Observational Analysis of Neonatal Hearing Screening.

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
Identifying auditory impairments early in newborns is essential to prevent developmental delays. Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) screenings play a critical role in newborn hearing assessments. However, the ideal timing post-birth for these tests remains unclear. This study evaluates the efficacy of OAE screenings within the first five days after birth to determine the most effective timing. An observational study involved 1,013 full-term neonates at a tertiary care centre. These neonates underwent Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) screenings daily from Day 1 to Day 5, following WHO and JCIH guidelines. The study assessed pass rates, false positives, and false negatives, with follow-up screenings at one and three months for neonates with initial ambiguous results. The study found that screening efficiency significantly increased, with Day 1 pass rates at 8% (81 neonates) and 98% (992 neonates) by Day 5, marking a significant improvement in diagnostic accuracy ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-024-04700-0.
