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

introductionOtotoxicity is an adverse effect of childhood cancer treatment with a negative impact on speech-language development and quality of life. This study aimed to retrospectively assess ototoxicity monitoring in a national cohort of pediatric patients with solid tumors, examining the frequency and determinants associated with hearing loss (HL).

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 305 patients treated between 2015 and 2020 at the Princess Máxima Center. Patients receiving platinum agents, head and neck radiotherapy, and/or ear-nose-throat surgery were analyzed. Electronic patient files provided demographic, clinical, and audiological data. HL was defined as Muenster ≥ 2b or SIOP ≥ 2 grade. Associations between clinical characteristics and HL occurrence were analyzed using logistic regression analysis.

resultsAudiological monitoring was performed at baseline (62.6%), during treatment (79.0%), and at the end of treatment (82.1%). Post treatment, 51.2% and 36.5% experienced Muenster and SIOP-defined HL, respectively. Multivariable analyses revealed that age at diagnosis (OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.9-1.0), total cumulative dose cisplatin per 100 mg/m

conclusionThis study shows that more than half of the children treated with ototoxic cancer therapies develop HL by the end of treatment. Therefore, audiological monitoring during and after treatment is essential. Improved insight into clinical determinants aids in identifying patients at high risk for HL, who may benefit from prevention strategies that are currently being implemented.
