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

Tinnitus is a subjective acoustic perception in the absence of any external source. Symptoms associated with tinnitus are insomnia, lack of concentration, depression, anxiety and elevated levels of stress. There were many questionnaires to evaluate the severity of tinnitus, one such questionnaire is the Tinnitus Sample Case History Questionnaire (TSCHQ). TSCHQ focuses on the tinnitus history and descriptive characteristics of tinnitus. As far as we know there have been no translation of TSCHQ in any Indian languages. This study aimed to translate TSCHQ into a Tamil version and validate it for use in clinics for the Tamil population. Rather than a direct translation, cross-cultural adaptation has been carried out. The steps involved in this process were forward translation, Synthesizing common translation, Backward translation, Expert committee review and pre-testing of the final version. Incorporating these procedures, the translated and validated TSCHQ questionnaire was made in Tamil. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-024-04941-z.
