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
Background: Despite cochlear microphonic's potential clinical application, especially in ANSD diagnosis, the optimal parameters to record cochlear microphonics and the effect of various stimulus parameters are not well understood yet, which makes its recording a difficult procedure. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of stimulus polarity, rate, stimulus type, and stimulus frequency on different aspects of cochlear microphonics, which could help to decide an optimal stimulus parameter that can be used to record CM. Methods: The study involved 32 normal-hearing adults. CM was recorded from these individuals using extratympanic CM measurement from the ear canal independently for tone burst frequencies (500 Hz, 1 kHz, 4 kHz & 8 kHz) and click stimuli having rarefaction and condensation polarity at 30.1/sec and 59.1/sec repetition rates. Amplitude and latency were measured from the recorded waveforms and compared across and between stimulus conditions. Results: Results reveal that stimulus frequency and stimulus type have a significant effect on different parameters of CM. However, there was no significant effect of stimulus polarity and rate of stimulus on the amplitude and latency of cochlear microphonics. The amplitude and latency of the cochlear microphonics are inversely proportional to the stimulus frequency. Conclusion: Hence, the study suggests the use of low-frequency tone burst (500 Hz/1 kHz) to elicit robust CM, which has greater application in the assessment of cochlear functioning over OAE as the latter gets affected by environmental and physiological noise and also due to middle ear pathology.
