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

introductionPsychogenic hearing loss is often neglected in the differential diagnosis of hearing disorders. In a difficult diagnostic process and treatment of psychogenic hearing loss disorder, the close cooperation of the audiologist, psychologist, patient, and his family is required. The study aimed to improve the knowledge and understanding of psychogenic hearing loss, establish a differential diagnosis in audiological tests in children, determine diagnostic procedures and finally apply adequate therapeutic procedures. The professional knowledge presented in the study will enable adaptation of reliable information which can be transferred to young patients and their families to let them recognize their problems. MATERIAL AND

methodsA group of 321 children, admitted to the Department of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, Phoniatrics and Audiology, The Children's Hospital in Lublin, Poland, from January 2019 to December 2021, who complained of hearing loss were analysed in the study.

resultsTwenty-two patients (15 girls and 7 boys) met the audiological criteria of psychogenic hearing loss and were enrolled to the study. Seventeen children complained of bilateral hearing loss, and five patients presented with a unilateral hearing loss.

conclusionsFamily and personality problems cause unresolved difficulties in children and can lead to psychogenic deafness. Constant interest demonstrated by a guardian not only when the child is causing troubles or is complaining of disease is the key to avoiding developing psychosomatic disorders such as psychogenic hearing loss.
