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

This study aimed to establish a deep learning-based predictive model for the prognosis of idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL). Data from 1108 patients with SSNHL between January 2015 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients underwent standardized treatment protocols including high-dose steroid therapy and hearing outcomes were assessed after three months using Siegel's criteria and the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) classification. For predicting patient recovery, a two-layered classification process was implemented. Initially, a set of 22 Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) networks was employed to categorize the patients. The outcomes from this initial categorization were subsequently relayed to a second-layer meta-classifier for final prognosis determination. The validity of this methodology was ascertained through a K-fold cross-validation procedure executed with 10 distinct splits. The prediction model for complete recovery, based on Siegel's criteria, demonstrated an accuracy of 0.892 and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.922. For the class A prediction, according to AAO-HNS classification, the model showed an accuracy of 0.847 and AUC of 0.918. These results suggest that the model may have the potential to contribute to the establishment of tailored patient management strategies by predicting hearing recovery in patients with SSNHL.
